Im installing a new thermostat and Im confused.. Should the side with the spring go on the inside of the engine or the outside???

Help! It's all apart!

Also, the old one was marked 88 degress and the new one is marked 92 degress... I did a test and they opened at 192 and 188... Any reason the newer one opens at a HIGHER tempaturE??

Thanks everyone..
