Default Noob Question........
I'll probaly get ripped about this question but here it goes.

I just installed a new thermostat and I want to make sure I installed it the right way. There seems to be fluid flowing through the upper hose continous. I installed it with the spring facing the rad, cause the pressure is coming from the other way. Is this right? Someone tell me the correct direction to install them.

I believe the spring goes toward the motor, but I'd have to go look to be sure.
