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!!

Holy thread resurrection!
Yes, the thermostat can be put in with the engine in the car. Not a big deal. but make sure the bolt which holds the thermostat pulley is installed regardless. It's a through passage and you'll have a lot of oil everywhere if it's not installed! |

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) |

My assumption is it might all be gone if the therm is gone. Might explain the high CH Temps |

Then you need the wheel and bracket too. No néed to remove the top tin and the rest of the hardware. Feed the new wire down or pull it up with a piece of scrap wire. Leave some wire length at the rod connection. If it's too short and you have to release the top, you'll play hell trying to hook it back up. Frustrating lesson. Had to buy a new cable.
