just leave yer rad cap off when you have done and leave the engine running, they force their way into the expansion chamber

You will really need to load the engine to get a realistic temp reading as the fan spinning will shift enough air to cool it on tick over.

yes, you need to remove the cowling and the viscous fan, the kenlowe for a disco fits engine side of the radiator
