Cooling Issue

I think you are going to have better luck with it now, as you would be surprised how much air comes off the tips of the fan.
With the fan deep inside the shroud all that air coming off the fan tips blows out against the inside of the shroud instead of out of it and therefore pulling more air volume through the radiator.
Was going to ask you about the depth and idle RPM's both. :D

It already has been moved back 1/4" from the pictures and is still having issues. That's why I'm asking you folks. Thanks though!

Google "how to test a fan clutch". Everything else looks good to me.

I will. Thanks! I though the only way to test them was to make sure they're snug (which this one is).

Based on my first attempt after resurrection, the thermostat I used had a bleeder and it was a issue. I thought I had it covered from new radiator, fan shroud and all with factory style parts.

That fancy t-stat with bleeder sucked!!!

Put a high flow 185 stat from Milodon in and it made all the difference! Don't skimp on the cheap part that is often overlooked.

I may try that. Do you happen to have a part number? Is this it?
