I'm getting my engine ready for install and since I won't have heat, headers and no tubes in longs, what should I shouldn't I leave or bock off on the engine? Do I remove the flaps on the fan cowl? Bolch the holes at the bottom of the fan cowl? Remove the controller that moves the flaps? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
This is a 2056 with Carbs.. Thanks, Brad |

Thanks @steve @bbrock and @porschetub
So to make sure I'm clear..... Block this.  Leave these alone.    My thought was if I deleted all of that, the engine would actually run cooler and take longer to heat up. I live in Miami Fl so don't think I need to worry about warm up time. Is that not the case? Wouldn't the engine tin keep all of the circulation contained? These items seem to be blocking the airflow at times. School me please. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The cooling flaps warm up the engine in a controlled manner it has little to do with the climate in your area,make sure it all works correctly,none of these parts removed will improve cooling. Porsche never installed spare parts on motors that were not needed regardless of model. Try to find the little alloy flaps and pivot pins to block off the heater ducts,on my last build I just installed some small alloy tabs to hold them closed. |
