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)

QUOTE(gasman @ Oct 24 2010, 05:41 PM)  Looks like you have the heads on the wrong sides....Cht belongs on passenger side.....if your going to carbs...no problem....If FI, you might have to run a wire from harness to CHT...Just an observation QUOTE(cdadaa @ Oct 24 2010, 05:53 PM) Look again...I believe the CHT is on the passenger side. The photo was taken from the flywheel (engine rear, front of car) side. BTW, this is going in a 912E.

The photo was taken from the flywheel (engine rear, front of car) side. BTW, this is going in a 912E. Ok for the position of the engine in the 912E- Yes ( passenger side ) , position for the CHT sender to operate with Fuel Injection- NO , the CHT needs to be over the Number 3 cylinder to capture the hotest cylinder -per Porsche / VW configuration. We ( the forum members ) are trying to help with some advise . Good Luck , and do hope you get it running well. Jack / Jaxdream They aren't trying to bust your balls. They are trying to help you save an engine. Your CHT is on the #2 cylinder. It belongs on the #3 cylinder. We can clearly see it on the drivers side. Take the time to take it apart and reassemble the it the correct way now while its only a few hour job. Haste makes waste. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
