Default DUH!!! Now I know why my coolant temps went up.

Went to VIR in July and it was 105* and my coolant ran exactly 232* all day. It had never been over 202* with DeWitts irregardless of ambients. I had taken all that stuff off the front to repl ac compressor and when I reassembled, I put the radiator cover on backwards, which, although not obvious, left a 1" - 2" gap between shroud and cover. Flipped everything around last night so it should be all good for Friday. I had some duct tape out to try to fill some gaps and this is how I found it. I went and looked at some pics and my "Caution Hot" was facing the wrong way. DUH!!!
