Message	:get their licks in. Do you have a TechTom or instrument to monitor water temp? Either way its gotta be better than what you started with. Oh, BTW buff it out and clear coat it ;-) Gordo Exactly, I was thinking of polishing it more, and the hitting it with a clear powder coat...no more polishing that way! All i have to measure the water temp with is a Cobalt water temp gauge...at the present. Oh yeah, I agree to , its way better than what i started out with. The stock fan is super parasitic. Why waste that energy on turning a fan when you dont need to? Under normal driving conditions, air flow across the rad will cool it. When at a stop light, or in town driving, thats when the electric fan will kick on and do its job.
