FWIW, I had my BJ8's manifold coated--by JetHot--during an overhaul
and didn't notice any difference in running temps.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">In 1991 bolt on cooling fans didn't have
sufficient CFMs to be particularly effective, but worked
well on the jags and MGs that had them simply because they
designed the systems around the CFMs they could produce. In
the last 10-15 years, the fans you can buy now can move a
huge amount of air, so putting a pusher in front of the
radiator is a viable option now.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Although my view still remains to make
sure the cooling system is sorted, suggest jet hot coating
the exhaust header first, and go with a plastic 5 blade
fan and use a 165 deg thermostat. If that still doesn't
work then consider adding a fan.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Always fit a thermo-switch and a manual override
switch. The thermo switch should be compatible with
the opening temperature of the engine thermostat. The
thermoswitch should switch off at a temperature about
5 degrees C over the opening temperature of the
thermostat. It should switch on near 90-95 degrees C.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Remember, the higher the temperature the better the
cooling because of an increase in Delta T.<o:p></o:p></p>
