I'd like to see a video:
1. with the camera stationary, on a cold morning/day (cold enough to need the heater) engine start-up, heater on hot, motor idling.....to see what areas begin to heat 1st, as the motor begins to warm and coolant begins to transition to the rad
2. after driving a while, motor fully warmed up/heater roaring on that same cold day, a shot of the rad from the front (a/c condenser may be a problem) or maybe a shot of each end of the rad
3. lastly, a July/August video in +90* ambient, XJ driven/motor hot, then a video with the motor idling, a/c roaring, a shot of the rad, if possible.
Give a guy an inch and he takes a mile....sorry. It would be interesting to see AND very much appreciated, though. That thermal camera might shed some light on it being worth cutting up a perfectly good to instal hood vents.
I'm still thinking, that in cold weather and running the heater, the video would show a substantial color difference between the 2 ends of the rad....but
. In hot weather, the video would show just 1 big blob of red.....fender-2-fender, firewall-2-grille.
