I currently don't have any of the heater stuff on my car, although I still have the stock HE's.
Should I be capping off the outlets on the engine cooling fan housing? If so, what specifically can I use for caps? I did a search, but couldn't find much. I would think this would be a pretty common question. |

Please report your findings running them open or capped. It would be good to know, but I’d trust Jake Raby’s advice. If the car isn’t overheating with them open, it really shouldn’t be an issue.

QUOTE(GeorgeRud @ May 20 2018, 11:20 AM)  Please report your findings running them open or capped. It would be good to know, but I’d trust Jake Raby’s advice. If the car isn’t overheating with them open, it really shouldn’t be an issue. Unfortunately, I don't have enough historical data to provide good findings. I've basically driven my once for an extended period, and the oil temp just kept climbing. BUT... I also have no engine tin seals, I've got uncapped holes everywhere in my engine tin, my thermostat isn't hooked up. So I want to drop my engine again soon, and try to get all those issues resolved at once. |
