<x-flowed>With the discussions about the merged headers lately I have seen quite a bit of mention about the thermostat and its associated cooling flaps. When I recently installed the new long block I found out that my car does not have this thermostat (nor any of the linkage), its MIA. The cooling flaps are fine but they were hanging closed. I assumed that the air would push them at least partially open, though I didnt know if they would open all the way. When I reinstalled my engine I secured them full open to ensure that all the cooling air possible would get to the engine. Are there negative effects from having the flaps full open all the time...keeping in mind that this car is in San Jose, Ca. not exactly the great white north so engine warm up isnt going to be a problem.
