radiator fan shroud mod
i think this may help pull more air throught the radiator
instead of the fan pulling air from engine bay, because of the big gap.
please double check and <b><u>make sure</b></u> that your engine/motor/fan is not moving around much.
i have soild motor mount!
this should help only at idle/moving slow
@ high speed this mod may reduce air flow
due to smaller fan shroud exit?
p
plz don't flame

Your theory is sound (reduced blade tip clearance inproves fan efficiency), but you're trying to fix a non-existant problem. If the fan was keeping the enigne cool before, doing this won't make it run any cooler.
And you should should put a proper thermostat back in so the cooling system works the way it's supposed to...
