All great info, cheers. When I see it get to about 113deg I get nervous and stop the engine.
I went Davies Craig because they are so dam flat. There is absolutely NO WAY original fans or even a V6 fan will fit. The water pump bolts are actually so close it's between them.
Do fans work better at pushing or pulling?
Yes bypass is fitted. I even ran the heater in the car for flow. Pipes are hot so I know its moving around. Fresh clean coolant too.
With the comments about airflow and space - the bonnet has been removed so all heat can rise up and out, yep the engine was shoe horned in so there is zero room. Even though the pipes are JetHot coated it still blistered the paint.
I whacked the timing gun on it so I know its been checked.
