installing...all i have to make sure of, is that the little ball thingy is at the top.   right? and the spring part goes into the block/engine part?   reason i'm asking is now the temp gauge is running hotter than before the thermostat.  i burped the system...doing the incline thing for about 10 minutes.   i also put in a nissen radiator about a year or 2 ago and when i put the thermostat i also reinforce the radiator neck with a small piece of copper (per advice from other nissen radiator owners).  that can't be enough to restrict water flow, can it?  the copper is about 1/16 inch thick.  i put a new radiator cap about 6 months ago and there is a small leak around the cap.   meaning like half a teaspoon...maybe. 
 
i got the thermostat from dealer.
 
thanks
