Re: Running cooler - does this make sense?
What about the super heating of the coolant caused by the those hot exhaust ports right in the middle of everything. Add to this the many brands of head gaskets with only 1/4 inch diameter water holes in many of the critical areas. Reduced flow between block and head by poorly designed head gaskets can be another BIG factor. Increased water pump flow is a help for sure but a properly designed head gasket can solve the problem easily.
