       Anti Seize.  While at it, coat the insides of the ends of the hoses 
with Anti Seize as well.  Makes them come off much easier years later.  And 
it does not cause leaks nor does it hurt the coolant.
       The round valve faces the intake manifold.  That is the spring goes 
toward the water pump.
