The thermostat will not open properly when installed backwards. The coolant will not flow and the engine could overheat.
If a thermostat is installed backwards, it can cause the heating or cooling system to not function properly. This is because the thermostat may not be able to accurately sense and control the temperature in the room. It's important to make sure the thermostat is installed correctly to ensure the system operates efficiently.
leakage will happen and the seal will be worn in a short time after installation.
Possibly the new thermostat is bad...........don't laugh it can happen. I'm not sure if you could have installed it upside down. Sometimes that is possible but I am not familiar with your specific engine application.
I had that happen on '87 ford ranger. Tore it apart and found the thermostat was backwards. Also if its a "fail safe" thermostat it sticks wide open preventing overheating but also will take longer for your engine to warm up.
