The 160 stat uses the oem gasket and if you do have a new gasket would definetly use the NEW one.  NEW GASKET AFFIRMATIVE.   BTW the nipple(valve should be facing up(2400hrs)  Z
Why is it important for the T stat to be orientated to 2400, Nipple up?..I installed mine maybe 3 weeks ago, not paying attention to orientation of it, I haven't  had any temp issues. Heavy Driving puts my Temps at about 215-225.

If your tstat had a "jiggle valve" it's supposed to be installed at 12 o'clock

The reishe 170 stat diagram says to install the nipple facing 2400 hrs position.  Z

Air will always rise, and the best place for it to be "untrapped" is at the top, hence the placement of the jiggle valve at the 12 o'clock position.

I just bought a 170* thermostat from Torrie and it doesn't have the air bleeder or the jiggle valve !. Does it matter what position I install this one ??. Thanks

Mine didn't either.  Confused by the above information about the Reische thermostate instructions mentioning a nipple.  My instructions didn't mention an install orientation and I didn't see a nipple.  Maybe they have changed the design?

I don't think the 170 deg thermostats that Torrie is selling are from Reische.  His website doesn't mention Reische at all.

At any rate, if you don't have a jiggle valve or a bleed notch, install it in any position (except backwards, of course).

Mine came from EcoPowerParts and is a Reische.  I did not see a nipple and my instructions do not mention install orientation.  The instructions are extremely basic.  I can scan and post if anyone cares.

Nice that they include suggested fan settings, but the install instructions are pretty basic.  I should check with my tuner to see if those are the fan settings he used. Ahemm.

I purchased my Reische 170 stat a few years back and it had some type of air bleeder type valve on top and clearly was made in Germany and not quite sure if there is an updated version IDK...probably be wise to monitor overall coolant temps if you have any such Doubt's IMO.  BTW have noticed many sites selling the Rat 170-stat for far less and IMO would avoid,no dis intended.  Z..

Must be different from the one I got, Z, it says USA, 56mm, and STC on it (Stant Thermostat Corp, I believe).  Their website says they use USA parts & modify it by hand, so maybe they changed their process?






Apparently the 3.5L engines of this vintage use the same thermostat from factory?  The MOTORCRAFT RT1228 {#1X4Z8575A} 190 Degree Thermostat
