if your driving it back then you might want to just add a circulation system with a small oil cooler just to release a little heat and a small pump but you will not need a radiator if you adjust the system right. alky, once back to the idle circui, just the barrel valve will keep the engine running cool. you may be a tad rich on idle but people do this with no water but don't drive them back usually. you can tune the barrel valve @ idle to keep the system running as cool as 140° with no large rad
