And then I can tell, because the needle passes the 220 mark. Otherwise, the temp always stays low. Depending upon ambient temperature outside, the needle for the coolant temp may not fall quickly like it does in the winter, but the motor does stay cool. Then again, when I first got my car, I had the all metal, 3-row radiator installed, and most importantly, the cooling system is totally bled in my car. It doesn't matter wheather or not you use the automatic bleeder kit, or you bleed the system manually. You just need to bleed it. That I would consider to be far more important than air flow across the engine. Although, I don't even really know how much airflow over a motor really helps at all. Lifting the hood on a conventional car, and the engine cover on a DeLorean, both engine compartments have always felt just as warm to me. -Robert vin 6585 "X"
