Whew ! .
I hate overheating because it brings along too many other problems .
I hope you know to always turn the heater on HIGH whenver it runs too hot .
Now you'll need to check and adjust the valves again and the rubber rockerbox gasket will prolly need replacing as the heat makes it to stiff to seal well .
I had a 1963 Renault Dauphine , it had the wretched Ferlic semi-automatic clutch that worked (partially) via the field coils in the Paris - Rhone generator , of course neither the generator nor the ferlic clutch worked.....
It was uber cute though .
I paid $35 for it running and still managed to loose $ on it .
