Is there oil in your overflow cannister? I dont believe so, I will check again but I dont think so.

What is it about the engine that seems loud? Its just a normal engine sound, nothing that sounds out of the ordinary. I just think I was so used to driving cars that were quieter that this seemed louder. Its just at 4K+ RPMs it seems loud to me. But my car sounds loud stock, not the exhaust, but the engine itself. It idles and drives smoothly so I dont think there is any problem there.

Can you see into the radiator? Is it covered with crap or is it clean? Radiator is clean from what I can see of it.

When you top off the coolant is it always low and by how much? When I topped it off last it was only low a half-liter or so, nothing much at all.

Are you running stock hose clamps? I believe so, the car has only had 2 owners before me, and one didnt do anything to it, the car just sat in his driveway for years. The person before that was an elderly lady, so I would think they are stock. I will check.

Is your fan shroud in good shape? Yes fan shroud appears to be in fine condition.

How's your fan clutch? Sorry but im not familiar with this? What exactly is this and where is it located?

Are you smaller fans working? Where would these smaller fans be?

Thanks for the reply, im not a big gear head so I apologize for my naivety on some of the parts. Appreciate the help so far!
