[Healeys] Over heating and adding additional core tubes

[Ron Fine]

I agree with that point.  When I had my engine out of the car and striped to rebuild it I opened up the expansion plugs and used a high pressure hose to wash out the water channels.  There was about 2 inches of mud like crud at the bottom of the water jacket inside the block. It was shocking to see what spilled out on my driveway.  After the rebuild I haven’t had any problems with over heating. Everything else on the car is standard except for an after market plastic fan.

I've found that a good flushing of the engine block does more to improve cooling than any modifications to the cooling system. 
Drain all the cooling fluid from the engine and radiator, measure what comes out.  Compare that to what the capacity should be.  The difference will be the amount of crud that has built up in your engine over time.
