RE: [T3] Chrome or not to chrome? (engine)

i read in gene berg's literature that the chrome tin overheating problem
arises from improper or missing directional vanes.  the vanes of a stock fan
shroud (at least in a type 1) are there and are in exactly the position they
are in after hundreds of hours of testing by intelligent german engineers.
the cheap chrome knock-offs have never had the same vanes or are missing
them at times.

for type 3's, since we can't get chrome tin and can only chrome our stock
tin, i believe we wouldn't suffer this problem.

however, on type ones, the directional vanes issue and the reflection of
radiated heat probably compound eachother to increase the problem.
