[QUOTE="Thedragon74, post: 632977, member: 32933"] That’s ok if you live in Texas, or some hot country. You need these to stop premature engine wear when cold. The flaps specifically direct air to the heads when open too.It is personal preference but they put them there for a reason. I sourced everything needed for my new build to make the engine as reliable as possible. Mine didn’t have flaps or stat either, but and when I replaced the engine, the bores were scored due to this. The new pistons and barrels had only covered 20,000 miles. That wasn’t my issue though, I had to replace my engine because of a huge amount of end play. [/QUOTE]
