doesnt know its going through fins on a air cooled engine rather than
through a rad core.

Sure it does. The fin spacing on a cylinder is dozens if not hundreds of
times wider than the spacing and density of radiator fins. LOTS less
resistance to airflow on cylinder fins. Heck, you can't even see light
through a rad unless you hold it *just* right. I can see through the fins on
my 0-360 with no problem at all.
