I was wondering
if any benefit could be had by cutting/bending the shelf down to allow more
airflow to the lower part of the radiator? Has anyone ever considered this?
Yes I have. Then I noticed that the mechanical fan occupies that part of
the radiator that is below the grill opening. I don't think any cooling
advantage can be gained by doing as you describe as the overheating issues (if
you
have one) is at idle or at slow speed in which the fan is doing all the work
(pulling air) and it is not really affected by air flow through the grill.
If you have overheating issues at speed you have other problems.
