They find dragging brakes, timing and fuel mixture issues, a few thousandths off on water pump plate clearance, radiator is dirty, plugged or wrong model for the application, bad fan clutch, wrong clutch or fan, fan incorrect distance from radiator, no shroud, wrong or incorrect fitting of shroud, or wrong amount of fan in and out of shroud...................

I guess being a custom set up makes it even harder to diagnose the problems. I am running an electric puller fan with a custom shroud (sealed to the core) the radiator seems to be doing its job, as the coolant drops temp by at least 20 degrees. Now if I can just get it to run down the road at 180-190 degrees I will be happy. Getting closer everyday.
