One of my sixes has still got lower engine cover and she tends to run hot mainly in traffic, (cooling fans on most of the time).Clutch pedal action also becomes alot heavier too.

In response to this issue i am going take it off and see how she runs after that, this should dramatically increase air flow around the engine.


I know these engines do create a lot of heat in the engine bay anyway mainly due to the exhaust manifold design.

Opinions please

Stuart
