I always wonder why there are so many running hot complaints.  The Bostig
folks say the cooling system has too much capacity for their conversion, and
they tell you to restrict the flow to the radiator.  This is a more powerful
engine that generates more waste heat.  What's the deal?  Too much plumbing
or poor water pump design on the WBX?  In 250k with the original radiator I
never had this problem, but I didn't have AC either.

From my experience, you'll be quite pleased at how much better the cooling
system works with a new rad.  Either that or my wife glued the temp guage
neeedle in one place.
