For those readers without electric fans installed, I suggest putting a
stationary floor fan in front of your car once it has come up to operating
temperature. Direct the fan at the radiator, to keep some air moving
through the radiator. No sense cooking your motor, especially now that it
is summer time and here in the North East it has been in the 90s for two
weeks. Either way, keep an eye on the temp gauge the entire time during
your initial 20 minute cam break-in.
