coolant flow
hey guys, how does coolant flow in these engines? the thermostat is in the lower hose correct? so does it flow from the engine to the radiator or from the radiator to the block?

Re: coolant flow
it flows up out of the block into the top of the radiator then down and out the bottom of the radiator to the thermostat.

Re: coolant flow
if youve got the thermostat backwards I could see that causing some issues
