Lower thermostat housing help

Hi everybody, let me clearly explain this before I write my post.
I searched. Searched. Searched. Looked through the workshop manual and searched some more. Maybe Im just terrible at it but-

I need the lower thermostat housing diagram.
I was following the DIY for the removal of the SSV to clean it out. What a pia.
This is the most in depth car work I've ever done. Before that the most Id ever do was change brake pads, oil changes and basic maintenance. I've decided to attempt this due to the misfire code I kept getting past 7500rpm, and I got in there with success a hammer and a flathead. : )

So now. As I put everything back together Ive reconnected my battery and decide to finally plug up the bottom of my radiator and attempt to fill up.

So now there's crazy splashing noises from the side where the thermostat is coming from.
Before anyone asks yes, I've verified that every hose has no crack in it and that I fit them all back on tightly with the clips.

I need the diagram cause I wanna see how much I actually need to torque the bolts to and if I actually got every nut and bolt and didnt forget any. : (

Or if anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening and what I might've done wrong.

Thanks for the help anyone.

P.S. Jon316g if you read this post thanks for the wonderful write up
