Default Re: finally figuring out overheating

If you are determined to try this, I would remove the fan and shroud and try it on the road. Above 30-40 mph you shouldn't need a fan. If the car cools at 70 as well as at 55, maybe the shroud was part of the problem. If it still runs hotter (too hot), you don't have enough radiator capacity.
