Does the big end (opening end) of thermostat point to the engine block? Could go either way. I think the parts breakdown shows it that way but want to make sure before it is buttoned back up ( 1997 90 HP).

In my manual the end with the copper pellet sensor goes toward the engine.

it is a e90tsleu - really confused now since BRP shows the smaller ends going toward the water inlets vice the engine block

Re: Thermostat Installation

The big ends go toward the block and the small ends go toward the housing where the hoses come in from the cyl heads.
