Yes Bill, once the shell/shutter/radiator assembly is out, lay it on a table with the core side down; it will be very obvious how to disassemble - look first for a series of fasteners along the perimeter of the shell that hold it to the radiator/shutter assembly and go from there.

I don't know how strenuous the driving conditions of your 10 mile test loop were, or what the ambient temperature was, but my 34 1100 generally runs at a temperature corresponding to the shutter thermostat which is 160 deg. At sustained higher speeds (55 mph or so) on hot days or long upgrades it may climb to 170; doing a July 4th parade on a 95 degree day it may also rise to 170 or 175. For that rare drive during colder weather, about freezing or just a bit below or above, it usualy runs about 140 to 150.
