## 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.
