Mr. Gasket High Performance Thermostats eliminate the huge swings in coolant pressure that plague lesser thermostats at high rpm, when coolant temperature and pressure can battle for control of the thermostat and prevent it from opening at the designated temperature. Fully compatible with GMs, Fords, and AMCs, they open at 160 degrees every time, regardless of engine rpm, and their high-flow design and brass and copper construction eliminate the damaging effects of cycling when you’re stuck in stop-and-go traffic.

chinese JUNK Wow, Mr Gasket/Accel; they have been around for a long time making quality products made in the USA.I opened up this Mr Gasket thermostat and it cut my hand open, this part is made so poorly that all the edges are sharp and jagged.

Hi Flow keeps it cool !! I am a retired Hi Performance Auto tech / Speed shop owner, and I have been using the Mr. Gasket hi flow thermostats for years and years and I can tell you that these thermos definitely flow about 15% more coolant through your radiator and engine block. it will keep your engine running between 160 to 175 degrees, which is great for performance and also better gas mileage. If you have an electric fan setup on your car, I suggest running a bypass to a switch inside your car so you can turn it on…
