I just had the engine on my 1960 MGA rebuilt by a reputable British car
machine shop. Before the rebuild, it would run 190 degrees to 200 plus on hot
days. I figured the rebuild, which included a thorough block and head
cleaning, would tame these numbers. While breaking in the cam in the garage
with a
huge floor fan pushing air toward the engine, it experienced the same
pre-rebuild temps. So, I had the radiator recored. But it still runs at the
same
temps on the road. I'm thinking of adding an electric cooling fan, but I've
always been bothered by the huge, flat motors on most of these, that would
seem
to block air flow to a portion of the radiator. Does anyone have a
recommendation as to a brand/model of electric fan that would work well on an
MGA?
Due to the limited space between the radiator and engine, the fan has to be
placed in the "pusher" position on the front of the rad.
TIA
Bill Wilkman
