: I am confused about the bi-metal spring that
: opens and closes the heat damper on my
: exaust manifold. I got it back from the
: machine shop and it is not how it was when
: it went in. The outside of the spring is not
: attached to anything, and I can't figure out
: how it is supposed to attach.

: Sounds like you need to "wind" the
: spring another 1/2 turn or so and slip it
: back under the pin.

: If all is correct, doing this will put enough
: force on the flap to close it. Once the
: spring heats-up, it looses tension and lets
: the flap open.

: There should be a "hook" on the end

: Thanks Chuck, with a little bending of the end
: of the spring I got it to rest on the pin
: the way it should. Seemed too easy to think
: that's all that had to be done.
