which way does the thermostat sit in the housing

thank u.not sure wat u mean.thermostat doesnt fit into the engine.it is in the thermo housing below the radiator.the housing has 3 hoses going to it.the thermostat sits inside the metal housing veritcal.

u would think so.i have turn thermostat both ways.the car still overheats about 5 min after u start it.it did not overheat before i change the thermostat'. i change the thermostat because the heater didnt work.

You may have a leak in one of your hoses or coolant reservoir...or your heater control valve that sit to the left of the radiator is stuck closed. The only other thing it can be is your heater core clogged. I had the same problems.
