Thank you all for your detailed responses, this running hot is making me crazy trying to figure out what to fix. I have had problems with the "modern" gasket that Snyder's recommends to use with their 6.1 head. Blew 2 head gaskets in 1200 miles. Yesterday I pulled the head and today brought it to a machine shop to check to make sure it is flat..if not will be machined flat. Monday I will call Brassworks to see if they can take the radiator apart and rod the tubes ($65 shipping each way though). I am also taking the old stock radiator that came with the car 3 years ago to the radiator shop and ask them to try and take it apart to rod. If it breaks while they are doing it no big deal, it is plugged anyway and not usable as it is. Between getting the head flat and getting at least one radiator in 100% working order the heating problem should be fixed. It is interesting to know that having the high compression head and I assume the other things that were done to the engine to make it more powerful and efficient that is should run cooler.

When I finally stumble on the problem and fix what is causing the coolant to go to 220 - 230 degrees while going 55 - 60 mph, and push out 2 quarts of coolant into the recovery tank I will post an update so everyone will know what was done.

Thank you all again. Mark
