## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this product pollute the vegan oil in my motor?**
A: Unusual question.  Oil in a motor is not supposed to come in contact with the coolant fluid.  Separate systems.  If it does, you have a blown head gasket or cracked block.

**Q: Do I need any gaskets with this?**
A: It is recommended to go ahead and change the thermostat housing when you change the thermostat. The housing should come with a new gasket if I recall correctly.

**Q: You have the install instructions with a torque spec of 20 foot pounds,this is wrong and will snap off these small bolts. 15 foot pounds and no more?**
A: There are so many different torque values floating around from 100-110 in/lbs to 18 ft/lbs. I think some of theoroblem is there are different types of housings. The aftermarket is Billett Aluminum and can handle higher torque but the original Ford housing is a thin stamped steel and tightening the bolts to even 15 ft/lbs will cause the thin steel to bend and not apply equal force.

Err on the side of caution and you can always snug them up a bit more if they leak. 100-110 in/lbs

**Q: Does this fit 2012 ford e350 super duty 5.4l?**
A: I don't  know, but when I get a question like this I call the auto parts store or  dealer parts dept  and compare part numbers to see if they are the same
