Installation Notes and Tips

Verify port size, bolt-hole spacing, and mounting-hole diameter before installation. This housing does not include mounting hardware, a gasket or seal, or a sensor, so those components must be confirmed separately during service. Use the vehicle-specific cooling system procedure to avoid leaks and ensure proper thermostat housing alignment.
