If the engine is over heating then there is an underlying reason. Brakes
dragging, no or low compression, miss firing, bad water pump, bad radiator
core, defective thermostat,etc. Something is making the engine work extra
hard or something is out of spec. Check the radiator core: remove the top
and bottom hoses. Plug the bottom inlet, fill the radiator with water,
remove the plug, if it empties in 10-12 seconds its fine.
