Engine Coolant Thermostat Rear Position Chev/GMC

Engine Coolant Thermostat Rear Position

Any Car engine which generates motive power by the burning of petrol, oil, or other fuel with air inside the engine, has a small device called the thermostat that sits between the engine and the radiator. The thermostat in most cars is about 5 cm in diameter. Its job is to block the flow of coolant to the radiator until the engine has warmed up. When the engine is cold, no coolant flows through the engine. Once the engine reaches its operating temperature, the thermostat opens. By letting the engine warm up as quickly as possible, the thermostat reduces engine wear, deposits and emissions.
