@Serenska, TVS diodes are not one time use like fuses. However, they do eventually wear out - sometimes silently, other times as a dead short. Just like surge protectors in your home, you should replace them every so often. It cannot hurt to have more than one TVS in a circuit.
When installing in an engine (or anywhere), the TVS has one lead on the "HOT" side, and the other lead on the "Ground/Common". The TVS recommend (1.5KE36CA) is not polarized and can be installed either way.
