I'm going to pull my 1776, dual Kads engine to do a little cleanup work and just fiddle with it. I have a set of new cool tins and was wondering if it was a good idea to properly install them (per Bob Hoover) along with all the original tinware and thermostat/flaps. The ambient daily temperature is 100 deg F in this area and this engine has never run hot; in fact; it is the coolest vw engine I have ever had and I have had many. Opinions, Please?
