The Ford Barn - View Single Post - UPDATE....Ok so a brand new radiator and it still runs hot

I've been following this thread and it seems to me that the problem is not the timing, the radiator, and probably not the water pump either. I suspect some obstruction in the block or head, possibly an incorrect head gasket or just crud accumulated in the water jackets. Has your engine been flushed or was it hot tanked when it was rebuilt?
