Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses the lower engine coolant water outlet with housing before ordering. Compare the inlet and outlet port sizes, mounting hole layout, and flange dimensions to the original part. Because gasket or seal and bolts are not included, reuse only serviceable components or source the correct sealing parts separately. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly before installation and refill the cooling system according to Ford service procedures.
