Which direction does the thermostat install in a 1997 Suzuki Sidekick Sport 1.8L?

The thermostat is located on the engine block behind the intake manifold. It faces straight down into the engine block.

Here are some additional details:

- The thermostat is held in place by two bolts.

- The intake manifold must be removed to access the thermostat.

- The thermostat is located below the water pump.

- The thermostat is a cylindrical-shaped device with a spring-loaded valve inside.

- The valve is closed when the engine is cold, restricting coolant flow through the radiator.

- As the engine warms up, the valve opens, allowing the coolant to flow through the radiator.
