I had my crankshaft pulley (harmonic balancer) (WTF ever) seperate and fly apart whilst driving and it destroyed the plastic shroud around radiator and power steering pump. Anyways fixed the pulley and power steering, is it okay to drive without the shroud for awhile?????? Remember its an AZ Rock Limo :supz:

Considering you're in AZ and summer is starting, I doubt you'll get away with it. Maybe driving without a small piece of the shroud would be acceptable, but it exists for a reason. The fan is going to want to pull air from everywhere except through the radiator, which is not good.

Yup. Replace or atleast bend new plastic around the broken part. It definately makes a temp difference.

I might be using that aa an excuse for the Taurus e-fan mod. Always looking for excuses for mods.
