Specifically, it's connected to the water jacket, which is the space around the cylinders where the coolant flows.
The thermostat housing is a metal casting with a threaded hole for the thermostat and a separate opening for the coolant to flow in and out.
Here's a breakdown of the connection:
* Thermostat: It sits inside the housing and controls the flow of coolant.
* Coolant: It flows through the water jacket, picking up heat from the engine.
* Thermostat housing: It serves as a bridge between the engine and the thermostat, allowing coolant to flow through the system.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
