Is this backwards?
Heater valve, I have seen this both ways, does it matter and is it backwards?

Re: Is this backwards?
That is mounted correctly, though it actually shouldn't matter. It opens / closes to control the flow of coolant. That said, coolant *might* flow better in one direction than in the other. But the pic shows the way they came from the factory.

Re: Is this backwards?
Doesn't really matter as long as it works.
I'd just about bet money the factory didn't care which way they where mounted back then. They where installed by a human and we all know humans make mistakes.So to say one way is correct and the other isn't is not really relivant.

I must have the "Rare" factory backwards mounted valve with the corvettte 327 option. Must've been installed on a Monday. Sarcasm over.....
