The distance between the two places is completly irrelivent. Let me explain why.
The engines have a thermostat that acts like a big wall between the engine and the radiator. Water can not penatrate that wall because it seals off completely, or at least so much that any water that does happen to get around it is miniscule.
So if your engine is 180 degrees, and the water in the radiator is 140, why would you want your fans to kick on? The fans are not going to cool the water in the engine untill it makes it into the radiator. It won't do that untill the thermostat opens up to let it. Once that happens then the water in the radiator is 180 and the water that is in the engine is 140.
If the thermostat for the fans is located in the heads, you just shut the fans off with 180 degree water in the radiator. Now with the fans off how are you going to cool the water so that it is cool enough to go through the cycle again? WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com
