Hi Don, Stephen et al., When I got my car it had a kenlow radiator fan but no engine fan. The kenlow (thermostatically controlled) fan went to the well- populated British electric parts heaven. I simply replaced it with a fan purchased from my local Pep Boys parts store. I believe it cost about $80 and performed admirably in the South Florida summer heat. I also swear by a product called Wetter Water (or Water Wetter, I always get it mixed up). It's some sort of glycol radiator additive that I've found to be very effective in keeping the engine temp under contol. Good luck, Regards, Tad --- In MarcosManiacs@y..., "Spalding, Stephen (US - San Francisco)" <sspalding@d...> wrote: > Don > When I rebuild my engine, I but a radiator fan (with a thermostat) > on the radiator (rebuild also) but I left the engine fan on.
