Is the oil milky?
The radiator will loose some coolant when you fill it to the top. They usually like the level to be just above the baffle plate that you see when you look down into the radiator.
I like T-stats with a small hole drilled in them even here in the hot Arizona Summers. Some folks say not needed, Henry said use them??? Choices!
50-50 mix of water and coolant will help a bit.
Hey, if it ain't boiling, drive it... Enjoy the adventure, Chap
