[QUOTE="neilswheels, post: 642091, member: 18199"] So, the thermostat and vents allow the engine to warm up when its cold, blocking air to the barrels/heads until the stat expands and the flaps open, allowing air to pass over the heads and barrels, as I suspect you already know. Personally, I kept them all in our buggy engine, mainly because at the time (early 90's) I thought it was necessary, however, the tinware for the bus engine i'm putting in, i've deleted the lot. My thinking is that they were originally fitted to allow the engine to come up to temp in the winter, my bus wont see winter use, not proper cold use anyway, so I left them out. That and hearing that the 'new' thermostats fail in the closed position, allowing no air flow at all, made me think this is also the better option for an occasional use car. Just my opinion, I'm sure their will be others that think they are extremely necassary. [/QUOTE]
