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!!

No do not take the flaps out.
In static open position the drivers side flap is open and should hit the little rubber bumper against the cylinder tin. the other side should be sealed snuggly down against the oil cooler deflector tin. Now hook up the cable and pull it tight which will hold the drivers side down shutting "most of the air off. and the passenger side will be up and in the way of air flow. If you let go of the cable things should defalt to wide open. |
