When you assemble the engine, you must set up the linkage so
that the flaps are full open when the top of the thermostat is
against the top of the thermostat frame (fully expanded position.)
You then bolt the thermostat down to the bottom of its frame and
the flaps should be almost fully closed. If this does not work out
then the thermostat is not compacting fully when cold; if the
discrepancy is too great then you should replace the thermostat.
