Engine Temp Cooling Methods Options

[p914]

Would 2 1000 cfs fans in the engine compartment mounted on the firewall aimed downward (not an extreme angle) and at the rear of the engine cool engine temps?

What other methods besides Nickys, Shrouds, Radiators are there?

As someone mentioned, check your timing. Also, with a SDS, you can adjust the air/fuel ratio if needed. If you have the correct a/f ratio and timing, then there is something else wrong. There are several threads here that comment on adding an external oil cooler. I have done so, using a Mocal cooler with an added fan. Not too expensive, and works great. I have photos posted somewhere on the site. The Mocal adapter has build in thermostat, so the system is pretty much self maintaining; allows quick heat ups, but keeps maximum temps down. This was for my car, which tended to run a little warm on 100 degree days when I had the AC running. The Mocal unit gave about a 20 to 25 degree drop in max oil temps. I have also seen that there is at least a little correlation between oil temps and max head temperatures, although head temps can vary a lot depending on engine loads, etc. as well as mixtures. JoeO
