<VV> Re: LOWER SHROUDS

I respectfully disagree. On water pumpers, the engines never get to operating 
temperature if the cooling system and all of its components are in good 
condition, and no thermostat. On a Corvair, the engine will, in fact, get to 
operating temperature. In fact, if driven hard enough, you can overheat a Corvair 
engine with no shrouds! It just takes a little longer.
