Its in and sounds like a truck!! That was actually a lot easier on the 606 than the 603. The trick is undo the rad support and voila plenty of room to work with and thankfully no vicious radiator cuts. 8mm allen with a cheater pipe, pulley holder and room to spare made this R&R a breeze. I think it took about 40 minutes, not counting a phone call and fixing some other things.

Now, I have hopes this will also help the AC work better by keeping the coolant temps in check. I noticed the AC seems to be definitely not as cold at around 90C vs 80C. Interestingly, temps never got above that w/o a good fan clutch even in stop and go city traffic.

Well ready for summer anyway.
