I can't answer whether a WC should have a shroud
or not. I live on a barrier sand island off the
Southern Texas coast. The climate here is mostly
95 degrees and 95 percent humidity. For my cooling
system to work, EVERYTHING has to be right.
nothing clogged/restricted (hoses can collapse)
functioning thermostat
cooling fins not oxidized away
proper mix of coolant
and how about that water distribution tube?
lack of a shroud is more of a problem when the
vehicle is stopped and running: while moving
air is forced over the radiator, when stopped
the shroud is what channels the fan's draw over
the radiator
