I confess, I'm not getting the nuance here. I rebuilt the engine on my TR3A 10 years ago and it always ran cool using the yellow multi-bladed upgrade fan and stock radiator. I've rebuilt it again using new rings but the same Mahle pistons and same honed liners. Did put in a new radiator from either Moss or TRF. Runs spectacular with so far about 5,000 miles on it. But... On mild days the engine touches 190 to 200 instead of 160-180 it runs on cool days. Block was boiled and cleaned. New radiator. Proven pistons and liners. Only change I made was to bring the crankshaft thrust bearings within tolerances by going oversize. I'll break down and install an electric fan if this doesn't clear up this summer. Thoughts?
