<P>Not confusing Pete.</P>
<P>If you remove the plate (which is what was intended for winter), then heat rises from the engine and warms the oil cooler (radiator as you say) quicker than with the plate in place. The car will achieve optimum operating temp quicker in those cold winter months.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Cynthia. No, this should not make your car overheat. What would make it overheat is blocked passages in your oil cooler. The cooler is designed to allow oil from the engine to flow through it and there are tiny air holes or vents that allow air to flow though to cool the oil passing through the cooler. 'Hot' spark plugs could also cause overheating. Excessive gaps in the engine seal (around the perimeter of the engine) could contribute to ineffective cooling. A rag or debris sitting on top of the cylinders underneath the top shroud (or turkey baster as it is sometimes referred to) preventing cooloing air from flowing through the engine compartment properly...the list goes on as far as causes.</P>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The much talked about "plate" is located to the left of oil filter,or directly under the filter,if A/C equippted.Attop the plate is direction's for summer or winter operation.The plate cover's the corvair's "radiator".Why i call it the radiator,anything that has a liquid [oil] flowing through it,to be cooled, is a radiator that disapate's heat,aka oil cooler.This will allow one to say,that the corvair has a radiator.Conventional vehicle have radiator's, and not known as coolant cooler's.O.K.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have the plate so I'm all set. Do all models have it or just the lates?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I checked my crossmember and the only bad section is where the passengers strut rod attaches and I've cut a plate for that area.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since I'm now in the process of installing new upper and lower A arm bushings along with adjusting bolts I don't think I'd be interested in replacing the one on the car. Currently I have the passengers side completely done and the drivers upper is off being painted prior to being reinstalled. Only the lower drivers side is left to do. New upper ball joints, outer tie rod ends and sway bar bushings also have been replaced. Shocks only have less than 1000 miles on them. Also have done the front brakes over. So you can understand me not wishing to change my current crossmember.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Jim, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Many people discarded them over the years. There function is to help control air flow and more specifically temperature of the engine during warm up and operation. It is supposed to be installed - covering the hole - during summer operation. I'm sure I have extras if your interested. I also have two late model crossmembers I'd like to part with. They are taking up too much room and I'd like to see them go. Let me know if your interested.</FONT></DIV>
