Sounds counterintuitive to me too. IMO, the only reason an engine overheats (assuming timing and mixture is right) is that the radiator is not up to the job. Start there.
This is a problem that often comes up on this forum and I understand why. Replacing a radiator is expensive so we try to find a solution that is not so hard on the hip pocket. Fix it right, fix it once.
