I agree with indy . It does look like the flat alum is right on the core . The fans can not pull air from the rest of the radiator and also when running down the road the forced air can not make it thru because it is dead heading against the flat alum shroud . Regardless if it fixes it or not I would add a 1" spacer or more to the alum shroud and get it away from the radiator ( Dont just add washers , it needs to be sealed around the whole radiator ) . This will allow the use of the whole radiator .
