Thermostate dose the point of it go up or down into the engine block?

Answer 1

The thermostat is typically mounted on the engine block or in the coolant passage, and it controls the flow of coolant to and from the engine. When the engine is cold, the thermostat remains closed to allow the engine to heat up quickly. Once the engine reaches the desired operating temperature, the thermostat opens, allowing coolant to flow into the engine and maintain optimal temperature. Therefore, the thermostat itself does not move up or down but operates based on temperature changes.
