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 I ran my 2056 like that. No thermostat, flaps always in full cooling mode. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) wes just took the next step and removed them and fabricated new pieces to guide the air correctly, but leaving them in "full cooling" is essentially the same. |

See, I'm considering this, because SoCal has no real 'winter'. |

As I said, I was considering this, so here's some visuals that I snapped today...
The first picture is of the flaps in the 'warm up' position...... (IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/18074796.jpg) THe second, is the flaps in the 'cooling' position.... (IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/9c7f1068.jpg) |

The second, is the flaps in the 'cooling' position... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) Notice how the drivers side flap is all open to let air flow over the cylinders while the passenger side flap is down to give full air flow to the oil cooler. If you simply removed the flaps, your oil cooler would not get any air ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy |
