This post made my brain ache. Use a period once in awhile!

More info would be helpful. New head? JY head? Did it overheat? Etc.

Can't be installed "backwards" it won't fit. A lot of things can be backwards but a thermostat ain't one of them.

head was fine, gasket was on right.
T stat ok.

some times its the little things that jump up and bite you the hardest.
thank you for all your help guys.
