1974 model # 50473m 50 hp Evinrude.... I have new T stat and pressure relief valve parts to install..... My question is the relief valve.... It has a short side and a long side... Which side does the spring go on ?? The factory book doesn't tell me... The parts picture isn't clear either... The old one was melted and distorted so bad it's impossible to tell which side the spring was on... Thanks....
Champman says the long side. We're at a rally and he's cooking my supper....

The spring goes onto the short side of the valve. The longer side goes into the head as it keeps the valve from popping out of the grommet as the water pressure compresses the spring, moving the valve away from the cylinderhead.

Thanks seahorse.... The picture in the parts breakdown isn't real clear but I thought it looked like the spring went on the short side... Maybe those fellows at that ralley are drinking a little too much.... Many Thanks
