If there is positive pressure inside the cooling shroud, wouldn't these seal better if they where pushed inside the cooling shroud? I've always installed them on the outside. Do you?

I always put the bigger flap on the inside. I just thought it was supposed to go that way.
The #2 cylinder does not quite seal, but all the other seal way better then with the flap on the out side (the #2 seals better too, just not perfectly.) My plug wires only have the one big flap, not a smaller inside flap. My earlier set of wires did not have the smaller flap either... Zach |
