How Do You Install An Engine Thermostat?
An engine thermostat is an essential component of the engine cooling system. It regulates the temperature of the coolant and ensures that your engine remains cool. Thermostats work because of a wax pellet embedded in the thermostat. When the wax pellet heats up to a certain temperature (typically 195 degrees), it expands and pushes on the thermostat plunger, thereby allowing coolant to flow through the radiator. From time to time, these thermostats fail and remain open or closed, causing the engine to run too cool or too hot, respectively. The more dangerous situation is the latter because an overheated engine can cause serious engine damage. Allow the vehicle to cool down. Drain the coolant from the radiator by unscrewing the drain bolt at the bottom of the radiator located at either the right or left corner. Follow the upper radiator hose leading to the engine, and where the hose is attached is the thermostat cover. Unscrew the hose at the thermostat cover, and remove by twisting and
