- I recently switched my factory radiator core to an aluminum fluidyne core on my '66 Mk1A Tiger. The core is approximately 1/4" thicker. The factory 6 blade fan has a spacer. It will fit if I omit the

- The factory fan has four blades... so you're using a PO-installed fan. The ideal fan front-to-back location for any fan is such that about 1/2 to 2/3 of the blade is rearward of the shroud lip, but y

- The stock Tiger fan does not have a spacer and I am running a 6 blade fan without a spacer. The fan should be at least and inch away from the radiator and you need to be sure it does not hit the ste

- More flow is not always better like in removing the thermostat and getting the opposite result desired to much flow can cause heating problems. Some restriction in flow is needed to cool correctly. C

- This is from the Stewart Components tech pages: A common misconception is that if coolant flows too quickly through the system, that it will not have time to cool properly. However the cooling system

- I have often had the same thought. I would assume in an ideal situation the engine and radiator are matched, as well the fan size/speed properly regulated for a near constant temperature regardless

- On the cooling....sure we have a crowded engine bay, small radiator and fan and a V8, but this can't account for all of the troubles. Look at the modern cars! I mean so crowded that you can't see any

- One thing MOST modern cars have is a chin spoiler, creating a low pressure area behind the spoiler right at the bottom of the engine bay. This would tend to suck out a lot of the hot air that has pas
