Just another little note on the cooling issue: Make sure you have the air
deflectors (or whatever the real name for them is) around the radiator
installed properly. A nice tight fit on these can make a real difference.

Patton,
I think that the important thing on the six cylinder engines is to get
the correct thermostat with the sleeve on it. The sleeve covers a bypass
port in the head when the thermo is open. Not at Pep Boys. Check with
one of the Healey specialty vendors. Also make sure that you have the
long radiator cap. The usual ones are too short to seal the system. I
think NAPA # 703-1411 works.
