              <br>
              <br>
              <br>
              Randy, <br>
              <br>
              first of all I would recommend to search for the reason,
              why your BJ7 is getting a lot more hot recently.
              <br>
              <br>
              <br>
              <br>
              I had a similar problem with my 100 some years ago. After
              almost 10 years driving around without any overheating,
              even when being stuck in traffic jam in Vienna with 30 deg
              C outside or driving up the Austrian mountains in
              summertime. The temperature gauge never showed anything
              more than 180 deg F (app 85 deg C). Maybe the louvred
              bonnet did help too.
              <br>
              <br>
              <br>
              <br>
              Then all of a sudden my 100 started with overheating
              problems, went that hot, that the engine began to sputter
              and later quit working and only could be restarted after
              cooling down. This happened in slow traffic and in the
              mountains.
              <br>
              <br>
              <br>
              <br>
              I checked and fixed one thing after the other: carbs,
              ignition, radiator, head and exhaust gasket, water pump,
              thermostat, ... I even exchanged the complete exhaust
              system just to be sure that there is no problem coming
              from this point.
              <br>
              <br>
              <br>
              <br>
              Throughout all this my mechanic always told me to install
              an electric fan and all problems would be gone. The only
              concession I made is a six blade fan, which did help a
              little, but did not cure the problem.
              <br>
              <br>
              <br>
              <br>
              During one last drive I heard some noise and we found out
              that it came from a main bearing which destroyed the
              crankshaft. And while the engine is out he could search
              for the real cause for the overheating and found out that
              it came from the rocker gear.
              <br>
              <br>
              <br>
              <br>
              Conclusion: <br>
              <br>
              Starting with no problems and then from one point having a
              lot of difficulties made me oppose to install an electric
              fan and rather search for the real cause. My experience is
              that in the climate zone I live in my 100 should run
              without, except if you race your car. <br>
              <br>
              <br>
              <br>
              Good luck <br>
