Best gap between fan & radiator?
HA! I think I got ya beat! Try 3/8" of an inch from my clutch to the radiator!!! It is CLOSE!!! I have the Schumacher poly lock engine mounts, so the engine doesn't move at all. Seems to cool okay, stays at 180 while driving. At a stop light it'll creep to 190.
This weekend I did have an epidemic: I was driving to the ocean to get away from the heat, but little did I know, it was presidents weekend. On the way there was traffic, stop and go, 5-10 MPH tops for 15 miles. Half way into it, I glanced at my mechanical temp gauge, 230 degrees!!!! I immediately pulled over, waited for it to cool down to 180, and continued on home with no problems as traffic picked up.
I think I wanna install a shroud now, like Autoxcuda did in his thread. Don't want that to happen again.
