breezy7 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I'm going to put a new thermostat in my SVT engine and wondering if anyone has a torque value for the thermostat housing. Any recommendations for a Ford Focus repair manual that covers the SVT engine? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breezy7 Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Thanks Brad. I read your post about using a 180 degree thermostat giving you a power increase. What type of increase in power have you seen with the lower temperature thermostat? Do you notice the engine temp gauge reading lower? Does there seem to be any downside with the new thermostat ?
