Its alway interesting tearing down motors others have built. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
Ripping into the 2.0 I found that the flapper over the Oil cooler had been *locked down* (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Why would someone do this? the curious thing is the car ran great and never overheated, according to my console gauge. Evan after the punishment taken driving it to WCC around Streets of Willow and back to Sea. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Makes sense to me. I take it the thermostat had been disconnected?
The position of the flapper is the "hot" position. The motor may take a tad longer to get up to temp, but that's the failsafe position for the flapper. -Josh2 |
