Hi all,
Does anyone have a good reference on how to adjust the spring thermostat that controls the air flapper? Thanks -L |

Yes, as long as the torsion spring is hooked up to the thin black rod. the flappers inside the fan housing and cylinder tin will default to open directing air through the oil cooler and each head and cylinder.
Setting the tension of the pull cable can be done with the engine stone cold and flappers pulled close. Once the engine is up to temp 300 or so the flappers should be wide open. If not then slack off on the cable. Better to be open than cold. Yes they are required. |
