Default Re: hot at idle

so close you cant get the fan out without pulling the rad first. 1/2". max. initial is 8 adv. tried different therms so i took the gutts outta one and used as restrictor. i stick a thermometer in the rad with the cap off and watcher rise! jack the rpm and she cools. ive heard the 4 speeds didnt over heat in traffic. this is really getting annoying.
also when i used the car as a driver, in say 98' i yanked a fan off a 90's bmw and hooked it to a toggle. it worked but as i say i didnt wanna go there. ive since lost that fan, and ive got a cooler for trans. i imagine we've got fans with thermostats now, so i dont have to hit any switches.
