thanks for posting this root... it really helps to see what I'm missing:

yea, my engine has the pulley for the thermostat, but no thermostat, and I;ve never seen those flappers before, they just flat weren't on either 914 I've had (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Rich, the bolts are there I think, there's no leak.

it looks to me like I need to get the whole thing... but I may "rig" something on the 3-4 side first, until I can pull the engine and the tin to install all of this... correct me if I am wrong, but it looks like the 1-2 side would just not warm as fast(may cause a little extra wear) BUT if the 3-4 side doesn't have the flapper the air never gets to those cylinders... causing it to warm up faster, but get hotter than normal! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

any idea WHY someone in Houston would have taken this stuff off?! from what I understand he was a porsche guy and knew these cars well... I bought the car from a friend who bought it from him... my friend never drove it(duh) and only owned it a few days...
