RE: Heating problems

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had a lot of overheating with my poly. I did replace the radiator 
after about 3 stock type bit the dust, one was my fault. I bought a 
generic 26" Summit crossflow alum radiator and what a difference. Not 
perfect but with some tweaking such as a shroud it will be. BTW the 
Summit radiator was over $600 cheaper than a Be Cool. Well, $500 after a 
couple mods to make it fit.
