Do you tape it off so it doesn’t scratch the paint? Was it a special router bit or just a standard straight one?

Thanks.

Cheers

I put in a 4 core rad and electric fan and still gets hot.

I have gone through 2 Chevy engines and have now tried a Toyota 22r. I can’t seem to stop the engine from over heating. I have installed an electric fan but still she gets hot.i have also had the radiator increased to 4 cores. Anyone ever cut the vents in the sides?? Any thoughts?
