Iggy, I don't think it really matters in a non-integrated heater system. In most older cars that have non-integrated heating systems like the 1600, the water control tap is nearly always in the line from the head or in the case of the FJ the block. I think the idea is that the water will be colder in the heater core when the tap is closed and so you can run fresh air for ventilation through the heater box. This is not always the case in integrated climatic controlled systems that also have independent fresh/recirc ventilation, but for a 1600 with a standard heater I'd stick to the old fashioned way.
I could be wrong but AFAIK there is no technical reason that says that you absolutely must have the water control tap in one or the other line. Nissan actually use the water pump line on the L20B engine in the Bluebird Series 1 but the heater is still a lot more sophisticated than a 1600. regards, Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Sandejas, Ignacio Sent: Tuesday, 15 January 2002 12:48 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: FJ20 Help Pls.
