I tried the heater as a coolant helper in my kid's Mini a few years back, we just lived with 212* all the time, nothing seemed to work on that engine. My Sprite had similar problems with the hopped u

How hot exactly is "hot'? 200, 212, 230 ...? And whereabouts do you drive? I'm in So Cal but near the beach so not terribly hot yet, but running in 70 & 80s this month. My Bugeye is running at 160-1

First let me say my car's not running yet, so I'm not sure if this means sh*t, but here goes: I did four things to make my car run cooler. It's not intended to be original, or race, just quick street

DB, everything I've read says the opposite. If you mount the fan in the front, you disturb the air flow through the radiator. Mounting it behind the radiator, towards the engine, allows it to such mo

In theory, I agree that the fan should be mounted behind the radiator. In practise, however, I am afraid that you will find, as I did, that there simply is no room between the radiator and the water

I apologize - I'm jumping in late here - haven't read any of this thread. In case anyone cares, the "engineering" reason behind mounting the fan as David says is because the flow is more laminar rath

The electric fan is mounted forward of the radiator when the mechanical fan is retained....'cause there's no room behind the rad in this case." Hey, you guys are trying to convince me, but I already

Check under the hood of any modern car equipped with an electric fan or fans. I don't know of any with the fan mounted in front of the radiator. But I haven't looked at *all* of them either. :-) I be

There is another good reason for putting an electric fan behind the radiator - if it will fit of course. Much of the time on the "open road" there is actually no need for a fan on a Spridget - normal

Using this theory of flow mechanics, I could then block off the radiator in the back with a metal plate and it wouldn't harm the flow, but if I put the plate in front it would? Maybe if you are talki
