Go to a cross flow design (tanks on each side of rad) and use an expansion =
tank in the system. I'd route water out of the heater port in the top b=
ack of the head to the expansion tank then from bottom of that tank to the =
heater return on the back of the water pump. I've done this on a endura=
nce race TR 6 and ran great temps all weekend in the Texas heat. No fan req=
uired.<br>
