thanks for the input...lots to consider..
.
notmytarga -- ihnteresting that you think the 2.7 will be ok with a loop cooler instead of a radiator style? have you had both? that would certainly be better for my budget.
Also do you think braided or solid lines the best? and,, did the kool kollar help any?
.
john_cramer - i do have the upgraded fan,and mad a good effort at cleaning the on engine cooler while laying on my back. Any suggestions (instructions) for other ways to ensure what i have is working at its best?
.
Henry Schmidt - wow, what a good looking job... i see you went with a radiator. wondering why the radiator and not the loop?
.
thanks
