Reinhart gave a very good list of things to check, if these are in order it 
might also be that the radiator (I think already mentioned) or block maybe 
full of crust/gunk making cooling or more preciesley heat transfer 
inefficient.

I also know when my motor was worn out (100) it seemed especially unhappy 
running when it was hot, after I rebuilt it it was much more "temperature 
tolerant" regarding running characteristics.  I did have a cracked head it 
turned out, it was a wonder it ran as good as it did.

Also do you have the cast aluminum, stock, 4 blade fan, or the optional 
"tropical climate" fan (six blades I think).  The optional fan does seem to 
move more air, even though it doesn't look as cool as the standard item.
