(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) While cleaning up a rebuilt (by PO) 1.7L engine to use in my project car noticed the thermostat cable and pulley were missing, so thermostat is not connected to flaps. This leave flap open all the time, so guess it keeps engine cooling air flowing but would make warm up take longer Any opinions on if I should use pulley off my old spare engine and reconnect the cable to the thermostat, or should I just leave it the way it is?
