I'm surprised your engine temp races up so much, given the cool radiator ducting you did. I hope replacing the radiator does the trick. My grille blocks drive the engine coolant temp up too... fan goes on at just a little over 200 degrees it seems, maybe 204 like yours. Seems about right. But I was hoping your ducting would make that less frequent in warmer weather. Keep us posted, eh? I'd like to know how the radiator replacement goes. Great work! Thanks.
