Hi,
Is this the correct positioning for the cooling flaps with a cold unexpanded bellows? Somehow I think the rod may have been bent or the flaps twisted by the previous owner. I want to hook up the thermostat so I can have a wintertime heater. Thanks...Dan Attached thumbnail(s) |

In the HOT position the diverter over the oil cooler closes down over the top of the cooler.. This directs air into and through the cooler only when the engine is at temperature.
If the diverter doesn't close completely over the cooler air will escape and oil temps will be elevated. I check this function with a heat gun with the engine on the bench and the cooling tin off as it is critical. I did a video of this when I built the most recent engine for my 912E, I might edit and share it sometime. |
