I resolved this problem with a larger Dewitt's radiator and New Dual, higher Rpm spal fans, and a 160 T-stat. The stat is a "part" of the solution only.

A huge debate for decades..... not going to be solved here but one of the best articles I saw about it was from Summit.

Darryl,

Thank you for the reminder and link. Good info and article. I might eventually do the spal fans like you and others. I do have an upgraded radiator that has been doing well for me so far, but Japan summers are brutal. Thanks again.

I wouldn't hesitate Craig as these were custom made. Remember these don't open at 160 degrees... They start to open and fully open at about 170 degrees....

TBH I'm not sure if Pete has em anymore.....

Maybe Pete da Greek will friendly chime in....
