thats a very nice setup, but too rich for my blood. im trying to keep this on a budget lol. but considering the spal dual 11 inch fans with the plastic housing runs about 350 plus, that 600 for all aluminum is nice

ill have to read more into that. so if there isnt a steam port welded into the radiator, the only option is to cap them or tap the water pump?
