Wait a minute, I'm unclear here. You're saying that If I hook the heater levers back up and duct the heat properly, the heat will be diverted to the heat exchangers, where it'll be cut off (when the heat levers are in OFF position), and then just sit bottled up until it rises to the heads? Are you saying that it's bad for the heat to go from the very hot heat exchangers to the heads, or good? Right now, there isnt ANY air going to my heat exchangers, the pipes are capped on the engine before where the duct would go to the exchangers. Please clarify. >>I agree that most of the time the engine would be better off if this >>extra air flow was not diverted to the heat exchangers, but think about >>where the heat from a VERY hot heat exchanger is going to go when you're >>standing still and idling. Hint: The heads, the most heat sensitive >>part of your engine, are right above the heat exchangers. ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
