Have you done the pulling the rubber seal for the engine compartment
thing? CC doesn't want us to hear the motor - I like to hear the
motor and want it to run cooler.

Yeah it does have a 180 in it. Its never actually overheated and i've
sat
for over an hour in it with the ac on and it still didnt overheat.
Luckily
i live in upstate NY so it dosent get that hot. My main problem with
it is
the clutch fan always being on when I'm on the trail I don't have to
worry
about lack of power much but its still so much nicer driving around
without
worring about that damn fan going off all the time...
