Red and doesn't run? Miata

Can test it in a pot of water on the stove if you're worried

 

I thought it was 12 o clock so any air bubbles push through

 

I've been wrong many times before though

Lol so many threads about the jiggle valve...

Apparently it's a 10 degree difference depending which way it's oriented; I doubt it makes a huge difference. Just make sure it's in there.

 

I don't like motorad thermostats at all, and their rad caps are barely above trash grade. But if you're determined to run it at least do what @Area51Runner said and use a thermometer and heat a pot of water to watch when it opens and closes.

I do it even for OEM ones...
