440 overheating at idle

I only run water wetter in straight water for the rust/corrosion inhibiting benefits. Used that stuff in a few vehicles and never saw any drop in temps. Definitely could try spacing the fan properly, no idea what the plastic fan looks like but I wouldn’t run one ever. I’d at minimum run a Derale or similar 6-blade aluminum rigid race fan. I’ve used their steel and aluminum blade versions and they move air especially at idle.

13'', 15'', 17'' or 18'' Standard Rotation Rigid Race Fan, Aluminum Blade
