Low Temp. Thermostat 160 Degree

The Low Temp. Thermostat 160 Degree is a precision engine cooling component designed for enhanced thermal management in high-performance applications. It is particularly beneficial for owners of 2011–2014 Ford Coyote-equipped vehicles, especially those involved in towing, track use, or aggressive tuning. This thermostat is engineered to maintain engine coolant at a lower temperature than standard OEM thermostats.

By opening the thermostat valve at a lower threshold of 160 degrees Fahrenheit, this component allows for earlier coolant circulation during the warm-up cycle. This design helps reduce heat-related stress on internal engine components, supporting extended durability and consistent performance under demanding conditions. The housing is precision-cast, and the valve calibration is factory-tested to ensure reliable operation and proper fit.

This thermostat is essential for those running forced-induction kits or ECU tune files, as it promotes better temperature stability in the cylinder head and block. The improved thermal management translates to more predictable combustion and reduced risk of engine knock, ultimately enhancing the longevity of gaskets, seals, and bearing surfaces.
