ive allways had hot running issues with my engine even when freshly built no over heating but hot running after a good kicking if i didnt give it a good run down temp would creep up ive had new std rad changed that to a grs alloy rad went from 2 8" fans to 1 12" i think and 1 8" blocked the sides of the rad and ic to aid flow but still was the same.

 

gosnays on the a12 in Romford are pretty good engineers
