From what I understand of the 914 heating system, the fan housing outlets have to be blocked off if I'm not running heat. Can anyone give suggestions on how to block these off? I could weld them up, but Im not sure about the material, and I'd like to be able to seperate the fan housing without grinding and rewelding.

why do you want to cool off your H/Es... hotter the better(to an extent), hot air moves faster... which is good for exhaust... Jake was the one saying that blocking these off is detrimental to airflow, it causes an extra turbulence which will increase head temps... the heads don't get as much air, because of the turbulence created when blocking these off... better to leave them open, with air going no where... I think something can be done to rout this air from these holes to help the head temps... I just don't know how yet... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) the way mcMark has it now is right, which is why he isn't seeing temps climb, (though I think it would affect the head temps, not oil if the holes are plugged) |
