Motorad TA3215 Engine Coolant Thermostat Housing Assembly - Lower

Motorad TA3215 Thermostat Housing Assembly

Motorad TA3215 is an engine coolant thermostat housing assembly built for OE-style cooling system service. It uses OEM-quality materials and manufacturing processes to deliver accurate temperature control for vehicles that require a 185°F thermostat, including select Ford Thunderbird and Lincoln LS applications.

The Thermostat Assembly line from Motorad focuses on direct-fit cooling components with the seals, valve design, and housing configuration needed for proper coolant flow and temperature regulation. TA3215 follows that approach with an offset design, air relief valve, and OEM-style seals where applicable.

What This Part Helps Address

• Coolant temperature that stays too low or too high
• Delayed engine warm-up in 185°F thermostat applications
• Coolant flow issues caused by a worn thermostat housing
• Leaks at the housing or seal interface
• Air trapped in the cooling system after service

Installation Notes

Verify the 185°F temperature rating, outlet port layout, mounting hole count, and lower-position fitment before installation. Inspect the mating surfaces, replace the seal as needed, and bleed air from the cooling system using the bleeder hole during refill. Confirm the vehicle application against the listed Ford Thunderbird and Lincoln LS fitment details before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Motorad manufactures this thermostat housing assembly to OEM specifications with OE supplier materials and processes. The copper case and wax compound are used to respond quickly to coolant temperature changes, supporting stable engine cooling performance in demanding service conditions.
