Shroud gap too much?

Thanks for the concern. At present I am not looking at an M/C shield. The closest tube is 2" away from the tip of the M/C. I will temp gun check the surface of the M/C next time I have it at temp. Boiling point of Dot 4 is 450° wet. I don't know how long it takes brake fluid to absorb enough water to lower its boiling point to approximately 310°, but hope temps come in under that. Guess I could use a candy thermometer and just stick it in the reservoir.

Following up on post, I am still installing the new Hi flow W/P, T-stat and 223 fan. I messed up and pressure checked the first install while the sealant was still curing and had a minor leak at 15 PSI. :BangHead:
I resealed and will wait long enough this time. Will be ready to pressure check again this afternoon.
