What way should the thermostat sit in an ej22? Thinking it might be back to front.
Cheers

The "flat side" goes down, the side with the spring goes towards the inside.

Thanks for that, it was in correctly.

Does anyone know the temperature range EJs should run at?

Im between 88 and 93 Celcius at idle with one fan running. I thought this is too high because the thermostat is rated at 77 C.

it may be rated to 77C but it only starts to open then. below 100C running temp is fine neways.

Yes but im running an aftermarket ECU, an EMS Stinger 4, i know its working correctly and can adjust the on and off temps using my laptop.

Thanks for the help guys I feel a bit more confident about it not overheating now.
