# Stant 27285 Thermostat Seal for Mazda 626, 1993–1994

Mazda built its own path, and for years it also shared engines and pickups with Ford, which is why some Mazda and Ford parts cross over. On the Mazda side, Stant's catalog lists the 27285 for 3 models from 1992 to 1994.

This page is for one model only: the Mazda 626. It isn't a wall of every car ever made, just yours.

## Model this seal fits

- Mazda 626 (1993–1994)
- 4-Cyl. 2.0L: 1993–1994
- V-6 2.5L: 1993–1994

## Help choosing the right seal

The 27285 is a Stant thermostat seal, a molded rubber ring that seals the thermostat or the water outlet (thermostat housing) instead of a flat paper gasket. Stant's own description of these seals: no sealer or RTV is needed for a leak-proof seal, and each one is shaped for its application. Stant made a different seal for each housing design, and Don stocks several of them, so check which number your car calls for.

Before you order, match three things: your year, your model, and your engine. Catalogs list fitment by vehicle, but some engines had more than one thermostat housing design over the years. If your old seal is still in hand, compare its size and shape, or just ask Don and Kathy. They'll help you sort it out.

## Real people behind the parts

Don was born in 1936 and grew up on a Saskatchewan farm, four miles from a town of about 150 people. As a young man he drove trucks through deep snow in Canada's Northwest Territories, hauling dynamite to seismic crews. Kathy grew up in South Dakota, blizzards and all. Together they've spent close to three decades helping people keep old cars on the road.

These seals come from Don's own shelves.

## Price is $9.95 plus $3.00 for shipping.

Don and Kathy offer a fair deal for this. Buying for a club, a shop, or a whole fleet of project cars? Even better.
