Larry,
I understand but uncertain I can explain. But seems that if your fan is
right up against the rad then putting a shroud around the fan tips is
good. Make a strip as wide as rad to back end of blades. allow for 4
attach-to-rad tabs which should be bent at 90. Then fix shroud around fan
blades. This stops air spilling off the ends of the fan blades. An all
rad-covering shroud seems to work best if the fan is pulled back away from
the rad (I do not have this option). The one thing I figured out myself is
that blocking air flow over the top of the rad (under the bonnet) is a good
idea - although maybe the cold fresh air missing the rad but into the
engine bay could be a good idea?? I do wish I had a test vehicle and had
the time to do some tests!!!
