Installation Notes

  1. Ensure the engine is completely cool and disconnected from the battery.
  2. Locate the thermostat housing on the engine block. Place a rag underneath to catch any coolant spillage.
  3. Carefully remove the bolts securing the old thermostat cover.
  4. Remove the old cover and thermostat. Note the orientation of the thermostat.
  5. Clean both the engine block and new cover mating surfaces thoroughly, removing any old gasket material or corrosion.
  6. Install the new thermostat (if replacing) and place the new cover and gasket (not included) into position.
  7. Hand-tighten the bolts, then torque them to the manufacturer's specified values in a crisscross pattern. Do not overtighten.
  8. Reconnect the battery, start the engine, and check for leaks around the cover once the engine reaches operating temperature.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if my thermostat cover is failing?

Signs of a failing thermostat cover include visible cracks, corrosion, or pitting on the housing; persistent coolant leaks from the gasket seal even after replacement; and warping that prevents a flush fit against the engine block.

Is a gasket included with this cover?

This part is sold as the cover only. The corresponding thermostat gasket must be purchased separately to ensure a proper seal during installation. Always use a new gasket when replacing the cover.

Can I reuse my old bolts?

It is generally recommended to use new bolts, especially if the old ones show any signs of corrosion, rust, or thread damage. Reusing compromised bolts can lead to improper torque and potential leaks.

What happens if the thermostat cover is not sealed correctly?

An improper seal can cause coolant to leak, leading to engine overheating, poor performance, and potential long-term damage. It can also allow air to enter the cooling system, reducing its efficiency.
