Troubleshooting

Engine overheating shortly after installation

Ensure the thermostat was installed in the correct orientation and that the cooling system was properly bled of air. Check for any leaks around the thermostat housing.

Engine takes too long to reach operating temperature

The thermostat may be faulty and stuck open. Verify the opening temperature or consider replacing it.

Coolant leaks from thermostat housing

Check that the gasket is correctly seated and the housing bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Ensure the mating surfaces are clean and flat.
