So the blue car we have been working on is missing the flapper assembly. I think it requires removing the front tin, fan, fan belt, alternator harness from relay board, nuts that attach the shroud, thermostat cable. To do all that I think the engine needs to be dropped down for access. Leave cv's attached but disconnect shift rod trans and motor mount bolts.
Anyone do this with the engine in the car? Been doing this all for free but this is getting too much work. Thinking that maybe the flap is on the oil cooler. Maybe go in with a bore scope to check. |

Pull the engine tin--just the two pieces over the heads. It's a pain to do with the engine in, but doable. You can thread the cable up through the hole in the tin from the top, but the hole might even be big enough to thread the nut through from the top.
I haven't done this with the engine in the car, but I did do it without removing more than the engine tin (and induction and such that's required to get the tin out of the way). --DD |
