so my 87 na rx7 is running hotter than it normally does. its running with the needle at the 1/2 way mark in my temp.

i just changed the radiator to a koyo aluminum,new uper and lower rad hoses, new fluid, thermostat and rad cap like 4 months old.

i did not put my fan shroud back on, they forgot to send the mounting kit with the rad, and i havent had time to put it back on.

could my fan shroud not being on cause my car to run hotter?

 

Yes. Put your shroud back on. Problem solved

 

More cowbell.

 

thanks ya. i got your cowbell right here.
