    ? You can see in the pic you attached that the lower hose goes to the radiator and the upper to the thermostat housing. I don't know for sure if it matters anyhow, but I wouldn't think so.

    I think it matters because of the direction of flow. Into the top from the thermostat and out the bottom to the radiator. Same direction and locations,( top and bottom ) as the large hoses.
