Ronnie:
I was recently looking over some of the TR6 parts I have on hand, and picked
up a TR6 radiator from my spares pile. It has had very little use, and I
was surpised at it's light weight, which alerted me to the fact that many
radiators currently in use in older cars are heavier than normal due to
accumulated scale. These radiators have put on some weight consisting of
baked on minerals that partially plug the core of the radiator, and also act
as insulation which reduces heat conductivity. So, your over heating
problem might not be entirely corrected by a new fan. It might be time to
consider a radiator replacement or a thorough cleaning of your current
radiator.
