With engine cold the coolant enters the thermostat chamber via bypass hole and goes to the water pump after mixing with coolant returned from the heater. There is no circulation from the radiator (main valve closed)

This is the coolant flow in the head (engine hot). The bypass thermostat valve is closed (red X) and main valve is open, allowing cooled coolant (pardon the pun) enter the thermostat chamber , mix with coolant returned from heater and go to the water pump via return pipe. The coolant is going through the heater core at all times

Side view shows circulation with engine hot. The coolant goes all way up from the radiator via lower hose, passes through main thermostat valve , and goes down via return pipe to the water pump.

07 starter (top) and 09 starer side by side. The nose parts and solenoids are different part numbers, looks like 07 will work on 09, not sure if opposite is true as well!

When removing dipstick tube use modified trim removal tool to pry it up (at orange arrows) remove the lower hose bracket (red arrow) from the starter first Yellow arrow points to "quick" connector. Once starter is disconnected from the engine it needs to be pulled down together with battery wire (green arrows), so it must be removed from its brackets and from the battery positive post. the battery

Starter position on the engine, radiator removed. To undo ignition terminal connector press on the tab where red arrow is , than GENTLY pry the other end with flat screwdriver. Chances are this connector will be broken in most cases. For best result do it on the warm engine, not when engine is cold! green arrow points to PCV hose , blue arrow to throttle body heating line, block draining bolt is in the green box. The designer of this layout deserves Shnobel's prize!

float close up it has ceramic potentiometer with lines instead of continuous restive strip for reliability. I remember the times when wire wound pots were used (1978 Cressida 2.6)
