savsi2018 Coolant Thermostat Housing
General Information
The engine contains two water manifold and thermostat housings. Each thermostat housing
contains one thermostat. The assembly provides for connection of the water outlet tubing for
the cylinder head, air compressor, and the aftercooler.
The V28 engine must have thermostats that do not have a vent.
Each thermostat housing contains one thermostat seal. This sealing element prevents fretting
and leakage of coolant flow around the thermostat barrel
Preparatory Steps
