Although the season for warm weather is ending, ( at least in New Jersey) a possible reason for running warm is clearly explained in Baker's catalog. Namely the water block diverters are shot. As Steve (or Ron)explains, "when your diverters disintegrate, the heads starve for coolant and overheat".

This is something unique with these engines and will not be picked up typical mechanic who is use to working on Hyundais and Toyotas.
