:<VV> Cool engines

[Ron]

There's no doubt that pulling the shrouds will result in an overcooled 
engine.  In the same manner, you should always remove the thermostats from 
any water cooled cars you have.  When you buy a new one, do it as soon as 
you get home!  The manufacturers always err in installing those things.
