## Description

Fail-Safe Thermostats offer premium, patented technology for superior protection over any thermostat on the market. Only Fail-Safe is designed to lock in the open position when overheating occurs due to a failing cooling system component. This allows maximum coolant flow, thus preventing expensive engine damage.

Review: Failed after 3 months...and so much for the fail safe feature...it failed in the closed position resulting in overheating. Garbage...first and last time that I purchase a MotoRad product.
Review: ...been a year and it's still doing what it should. no need to run 212 degree, 160 is very hot in winter. PEACE GRD

## Questions & Answers

**Q: After engine is turned of and left to cool completely, will the Thurmostat close?**
A: Yes. The MotoRad Fail Safe thermostat will act the same as a normal thermostat & as an engine cools the thermostat will close. Thanks for  the inquiry.

**Q: Does this fit a 289/302 small block?**
A: Yes. The MotoRad 7200-160 Fail Safe thermostat fits various 1960's thru 1990's Ford Small Block applications. It is an alternate temp to the OE temperature. Thanks for the inquiry.

**Q: does this come with a gasket**
A: No gasket included!

**Q: How much more often should you change the oil in a motor running a 160 t-stat? Is optimal temp closer to 190?**
A: I put a 160° thermostat in a 1944 Willys MB, and the old boy seems to like it. I see no reason to modify the oil change interval. These newer, modern oils even go longer if you want. 
I don’t know what you want to put a 190° thermostat in, but many cars require a warmer engine. Find your specs on google, and go with their recommendation.
