I just got my 2056 back from my engine builder, and now im trying to install all the sheet metal. The engine builder suggested that i wire open my cooling system so that it doesnt ever mess up and overheat my engine. My question is how should the flaps be oriented if i wire them open. Why do i even need these flaps if im not using the thermostat system? IF anyone has any pics of how they oriented their flaps, that would help alot. Thanks!! Hopefully back on the road soon!!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) If your tossing everything, you will want to tuck the passengers side cooling flap over the oil cooler, it slips under the tin that stops the flap from hitting it.. that would make permenant the fail safe cooling position from overheating.. this is common for people whom do not care about warming up but want to keep from overheating..
the wieght savings is nil... better just to lose 2 lbs. in your diet.. or drive without a helmut.. |
