Havign never delt with a water cooled rear engine before with radiator behind engine, is it best to have the fan so it sucks the air from aroudn the engine through the raditor to pull the heat out, or should it be wired in a traditional fashion so it pushes the outside air into the raditor towards the engine (even though its sucking from behind the vehicle)

Blowin forward

Pros - blows cool air when stopped or going slow.

Cons - Doesn't work at faster speeds, kinda like pissin into the wind :mrgreen:

without having a hood and fenders it should get plenty of fresh air along with the hot engine air.

Hopefully Plumberbill can chime in, his is set behind the engine, not sure how the fan runs though. Also might want to make sure you have a grill of some sort to keep out the branches.

Right now its wired up to suck it out and it runs about 220 degrees (which according to the factory guage is normal) Fan doesnt evne kick on until around 225 and doesnt stay on long.

A pull through always is more efficiant than blow through
