Are you having cooling problems?

My only problem is higher temps than 30,000 miles and seven years ago. I used to run about 180 on a HOT day at highway speeds. Returning from Monterey on a HOT day I was running around 210-220. No,I did not boil over, but I know the car can run much cooler, and I want to return to those cooler temps.

I had to use some Bar's Leek three years back. My aluminum triple pass started seeping. No more leaking, but I feel it has started grabbing trash and clogging things up. It has epoxied tubes in the tanks, and can't be worked on. I could boil it out and regain the flow, but also the leak.

Air bleed holes keep coming up in discussions. It just seems that they surely can't hurt, and this would seem to be the time for me to install them.

However, my personal experience echoes others in that I have never had a problem getting air trapped in the system.
