That "cheap" flex fan may be suspect.
2" from the rad isn't bad but could be better with a shroud. Or you might consider an electric pusher fan in front of the condensor.
Does it have a 160 or 195* thermostat?
I believe its a 160, just because MOST of the time (up North),
that sucker would be HARD PRESSED to reach 190.
I'd say 75 % of the time it was running 165-180 tops.
Rarely would it ever get to 190.

So would this "Pusher Fan" be in addition to a shroud?
(Pusher Fan on the outside and shroud on the inside)?
