It's really tough to tell how much has been removed from each surface. Yes, you can get the cam chain length back with cam tower shims but they will have a minor effect on valve train geometry. I rea
You can have the radiator recored to a three-row from the current two-row The shroud helps form a venturi around the fan and should NOT be removed. You can switch to the seven-bladed (later-style) fa
