So far no overheating. Temp cools down when revving or getting up to speed. Two different radiators. First stock 3 row 26". Then alu 2 row with bigger tubes. No change. Run stock water pump, 7 blades I think. Tried different fan clutches. 7 blade oem fan, shroud with the fan about in the middle, 1" distance between clutch an radiator. Playing with timing and mixture makes no difference. What do you think? Any prefered pumps? Was looking at Milodon high volume pump with aluminum housing. Any experience with this pump?
Thanks



Yes. And make sure the pump is turning crank speed or faster.
