INSTALLATION
(1) To ensure proper seating of replacement thermostat, carefully remove the bulged metal from the
wall of the outlet connector recess that was created
during the staking procedure that held the OEM
thermostat in place (Fig. 11). It is not necessary to
restake the replacement thermostat into the connector.
(2) Position thermostat to coolant outlet connector.
Align the two locating notches on thermostat to the
connector (Fig. 12). This position will ensure proper
location of the thermostat air bleed.
(3) Position a new gasket over the thermostat and
connector making sure thermostat is in proper position and in the recess provided.
(4) Install thermostat and connector assembly to
the intake manifold (Fig. 10). Tighten bolts to 28
N·m (250 in. lbs.).
(5) Install the radiator upper hose to coolant outlet
connector (Fig. 9).
(6) Refill the cooling system to the proper level.
