Got a question on the heater control flapper valves on a -6. On mine, the driver side flapper has a solid cap over one side of the flapper valve while the passenger side flapper valve has a hole about 1.5" in diameter in the cap.
 Anyone know the a reason for the one having a hole? |

Rory - if I drilled a 1 1/2” hole in the top of my (four) valves, would it duplicate the sixes in function? Or is their an internal difference.

Hey Mark The differences I noted are visible from the outside. I believe they function exactly the same. A 4cyl. part with a hole in the cover should be fine. The function of different diameter caps ? Dump capacity ? |
