[Roadsters] Cooling issues

[Mike Harper]

When all else fails, if you cannot get this fixed simply, try changing the
head gasket.  While the head is off take it to a good machine shop and make
sure it is straight.  That's how I finally fixed my over-heating problem.  BTW
it showed no "symptoms of a blown head gasket, no steaming, nor mixture with
oil, it was just "leaky.  Hope you fix it otherwise, but just in case nothing
else works...
