And worth mentioning that (in my experience) when this is happening the temp
gauge may behave strangely as it is better at measuring coolant temperature
than 'air' temperature. IOW, I wouldn't rely solely on the temp gauge as an
indicator of whether there is sufficient coolant & cooling in place.
Not sure what your plans are in St George but I once replaced a head gasket
on the TR3 under a big oak tree in a woods. A good assortment of wrenches
and torque wrench are about all it takes tool-wise.
