Winter setup

you have never seen 18 wheelers with their grills covered?

 

Yeah of course but I’ve never seen it in a gasser. My heater will just about cook me no matter what the outside temp is last thing I want to do is make the engine run hotter.

 

Common for air-cooled, like in little piston aircraft they partially cover the cowl openings during winter. Never occurred to me it would be necessary in a liquid cooled/radiator vehicle, but makes a lot of sense now - especially in -40C!

 

im sure if it made cars run too hot people wouldn't do it in the winter

 

Lol that’s a pretty safe bet I just have never found it necessary.
