Got a model 2 KF with 582 that's getting to warm 180-200 under load.
Did a bunch of reading & came up with this plan.
On next trip to airport am going to try the following in stages;
- check coolant mix
- drop rad 1" to get into more airflow, & fill 1" space with foam to seal gap (
have standard ( I think ) 4"ish high rad under cabin )
- check for a thermostat & check its temp setting
- pull rad & check for scale buildup
May try a laser thermometer on head to check the temp gauge also.
Anyone been through this & want to add anything.

That's what I did and it worked for everything but the hottest (110F) days.
