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?? Don't do it. You will not get any airflow through your oil cooler. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Running "open" is the wrong terminology anyways. The passenger side flap is actually down to direct full air flow to the oil cooler. If you remove the flaps, you won't get any air over your oil cooler. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Andy |

I understand the direction of airflow over the oil cooler, but what about always having them in cooling mode? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
