- Fine if you can get a smooth flow if water across all surfaces, but turbulence is the problem more than cavitation. If turbulence develops and you get eddies recirculating past the same bit of surfac

- Several suggestions: 1. Get a shroud for the radiator and fan, this will improve the efficency of the fan. 2. Try reverse flushing the radiator 3. Try an auxiallry electric fan 4. Check your mixture
