Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect the battery and allow the engine to cool completely before starting work.
  2. Locate the thermostat housing on the engine block. You may need to remove a cover or other components for access.
  3. Place a drain pan beneath the housing and carefully loosen the bolts to drain any remaining coolant.
  4. Remove the old thermostat, gasket, and seal. Clean both the housing and cover mating surfaces thoroughly, removing all old gasket material.
  5. Install the new thermostat, ensuring it is oriented correctly. Place the new gasket and seal in their proper positions.
  6. Re-install the housing cover and tighten the bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque.
  7. Reconnect any components that were removed, refill the cooling system, and reconnect the battery.
  8. Start the engine and check for leaks around the housing as the engine warms up to operating temperature.
