Just as the title states....
When I was dressing my new motor I noticed these 'reverse' flaps. But have no idea what cable would hook up to the flapper arm, or where it would come from? Or what would activate it? Someone please enlighten me... |

QUOTE If you run them OPEN what would the consequences be of not running them at all?? the air will not be directed properly, but you can modify and put in other pieces of tin to make them work, but you have to fab this. they not only act as an open/shutoff, they act as an air re-director. my new engine had new air pieces fabbed to re-direct the air without using the flaps. QUOTE Are these thermostats still available? no, but I have heard of people using a similar one, that opens sooner QUOTE Its a summer toy, so I consider this a really minor sin. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I'm in Tx it's summer from April to October usually. and if it's "cold" I won't drive it except a relatively few days that it's warm enough to run a little heat. the flaps failing in warming condition is not that unheard of. |
