Ebenezer scrooge Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Hi, i wondered is this actually the right way to mount the thermostat as the picture shows? I mean aint it supposed to have the spring side pointing downwards into the engine ? Car: Datsun 1500(620) Engine: J15 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Spring down in the engine coolant that is warmest. Quote Link to comment
Ebenezer scrooge Posted April 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 So the picture is just misleading then? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 I think so. I've never seen it done otherwise. The 'spring' shrinks and expands to open or close the valve using the coolant in the engine so needs to be inside the engine. Quote Link to comment
