Default Hot 33

My 33 got hot the last time I used it with the caravan on the back,
So I have looked at it the last few days,
I have a new radiator on hand, plus water pumps etc.
Today ,taking the rad hoses off the heads I see some yellow stuff in the water passages of the heads, so I take the heads off and see the problem,
I have NOT been as diligent as I should be on the coolant.
Looking at the filters in the top hoses and the top of the radiator core, both as clean as a whistle, so I will just clean the heads and block passages and fit new gaskets AND coolant.
The 33 had a bit of work done lately, new king pins and bushes, U/joint, brake rod and cross shaft clevaces repaired and new pins made.
I hope to have it back together in a day or so, as I want to go away for a few days with it and the caravan.
