That's right...It keeps over heating. I put a C&R aluminum radiator with a spal fan, I installed a 170 degree thermostat and when I drive on long stretches of road like the highway it gets hot and spews coolant out of the over flow. Now in town driving its fine but as soon as I run it on the highway it gets warm ????
Any suggestions? |

QUOTE (Super16G @ Apr 7 2003, 10:49 AM) When I got it home tonight I felt the air coming from the fan. At the top of the radiator it was hot and at the bottum it was cold. A drastic difference. Am I getting the radiator full enough??? Sounds like the radiator is doing it's job pretty well if there is that big of a difference half way down. I'm sure that monster front mount you have is making the cooler part of the radiator actually absorb the warmer air off of the FMIC when you are cruising. It's not an insurmountable problem, but it definitely makes things a little more difficult. Have you tried the stock fan yet? I'd be interested, because I've heard that Spall is the best slim line fan (Meaning the others are junk) and is what I used on my Cobra. It seemed to work well for me.
