        NOW YER TALKIN' ABOUT SUMMAT I KNOW!!! Back when I was trying to 
        get my TR4 to run cooler I tried everything... Shrouds, electric 
        fans, boiled out and rodded the radiator... In short, the works... 
        I finally acheived success with getting rid of the old style 
        TR3 fan and exchanged it for the later TR4A fan. Since then I've 
        not had a problem keeping the beastie cool... (I also use water 
        wetter... but I don't really need it).
