Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if my thermostat is failing?
Common signs of a faulty thermostat include the engine overheating, running too cool (not reaching operating temperature), erratic temperature gauge readings, and coolant leaks from the thermostat housing area.
What is the correct operating temperature for this thermostat?
This thermostat is rated to begin opening at 150°F (65.5°C), allowing coolant to circulate through the radiator to maintain the engine's designed temperature range.
Will this kit work for both raw water and freshwater cooled engines?
Yes, this thermostat kit is suitable for the specified gasoline engines in both raw water (sea water) and closed-loop (freshwater/antifreeze) cooling systems.
Is trimming the gasket or O-ring required for a proper fit?
No. This kit is designed for a direct fit. If the gasket or O-ring does not align perfectly, double-check that you have the correct part for your specific engine model and that the surfaces are clean.
