What is the opening temperature of this thermostat?

This Gates thermostat is designed to open at 160 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature helps regulate your engine's operating temperature for efficient performance.

Does this thermostat come with a gasket?

This thermostat is sold individually. It is recommended to check the manufacturer's instructions or consult with a parts specialist to confirm if a gasket is included or needs to be purchased separately for your specific application.

Why would I need a 160-degree thermostat?

A 160-degree thermostat opens sooner than a higher-temperature thermostat, which can help keep your engine running cooler. This is sometimes preferred for modified engines or in very hot climates, though it's important to ensure it's suitable for your specific vehicle's cooling system design.
