Installation Notes
- Ensure the engine is completely cool and disconnect the battery.
- Drain the engine cooling system to minimize fluid loss.
- Locate and unbolt the thermostat housing cover. Note the orientation of existing parts.
- Remove the old thermostat, gaskets, valve components, and hoses.
- Thoroughly clean all mating surfaces of the housing and cover, removing any old gasket material.
- Install the new poppet valve, spring, grommet, and thermostat into the housing.
- Place the new gaskets correctly and attach the new starboard and port hoses, securing clamps tightly.
- Re-secure the housing cover, tightening bolts evenly to the manufacturer's specified torque.
- Refill the cooling system, reconnect the battery, and start the engine, checking carefully for any leaks.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if my thermostat has failed?
Common signs include the engine overheating, running too cold (not reaching operating temperature), erratic temperature gauge readings, or visible coolant leaks around the thermostat housing.
Will this kit fit my specific Johnson/Evinrude V4 model?
This kit is designed for V4 Crossflow engines from 1978–1995. It is critical to check the compatibility table on this page to confirm your exact model, horsepower, and year range before purchasing.
What is the purpose of the poppet relief valve?
The poppet valve regulates engine temperature at higher RPMs. It allows excess water pressure to bypass the thermostat, ensuring sufficient cooling under load and preventing overheating.
Is it necessary to replace hoses and the thermostat at the same time?
Yes, this kit includes both because hoses can degrade and become brittle at a similar rate as internal thermostat components. Replacing them together prevents future leaks and ensures the cooling system's integrity.
