TIP; make sure the front of your radiator is clean and not full of bugs.last night i was taking the fang vents out and noticed my radiator was pretty much covered in bugs.so as soon as i was done with the fang vents,i took it to a car wash and sprayed the rad off with a pressure washer keeping adequate distance from the fins to avoid damage.

today is 87 here and after the car was fully warmed then sat for 15 minutes.i took it for a good hard spirited drive on the back roads going to redline a couple of times and then maintained shift points from 4-5k.surprisingly my oil temp did not go past 207 which before this it would get to 220 pretty quickly.so fang vents removed,clean radiator is working pretty good.
