I am putting the final touches on my engine after having it apart for some time. I can't recall which position the cooling flaps should be in for full closed when cold.
Should the thermostat wire be pulling on the flaps when cold and then expand to allow them to open (putting the attaching point in the upright position when warm) or does the wire pull the flaps open as it expands? Might sound like a dumb question to some, but I can't quite understand how they flow - hot vs. cold. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) |

With no Tstat it takes much longer to warm the engine at idle. Then you have an engine running at a longer period of time that is not at operating temp. Not good. The idea is to warm it up quickly, then keep it cool. Cheers, Elliot |
