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!!

While i agree with the above, before you put a thermostat back on there make *sure* you still have the cooling flaps and they are operational.
Otherwise the thermostat won't do squat ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) Is that doable with engine in? Removing all that tin? My assumption is it might all be gone if the therm is gone. Might explain the high CH Temps |
