You reallydon'tneed a picture, find the upper radiator hose to the engine. You may need to remove the coil pack to remove the two bolts holding the t-stat housing. Also drain some coolant out too. Be sure to clean the old gasket off the housing and engine intake manifold. Fill the cooling system back up and drive for two miles and ck your coolant level. Driving helps to bleed the air of the system.
