Nevermind I got it now, the thermostat keeps it closed when cold... and allows the spring tension to keep it open when hot.

Thanks for all of the replies, like I said, I don't know too much about these air cooled engines. I knew everything about my 1986 944 Turbo I had a few years ago.

Just remember to leave the flappers in there.

No thermostat = OK.
No flappers = NOT OK.

THE DAPPO yanked the flappers on mine so it would "run cooler". Great, now I don't have any air being directed through the cooler, it just dumps out the bottom. My semi-fix was to put a switch-driven fan on my remote oil cooler. A-1-SUPARS now.

no flappers is bad?

my PO ripped the thermostat and flappers off too! should I try to get all of that? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

leave it in and working imho, BUT if you yank the flappers just make sure you leave and affix the oil cooler flap down to direct air through the cooler.

Yes, at least put the flaps in for air direction - it's very important. You'll see when you install them (around the oil cooler).
