After rebuilding my TR3 engine, I thought it was overheating because it was 
boiling over.  Turns out it was alittle hot (mainly due to not being quite 
broken in and not having the proper sleeved t-stat), but reason it was 
boiling over was due to the wrong radiator cap.  A standard universal cap has 
only 3/4" reach whereas the proper TR3 cap has 1" reach.  Therefore as soon 
as the coolant started to expand, the radiator would boil over.
