Have you considered removing the thermostat?

Ice...Water Wetter
Lee,
I rarely have had heat issues with stock
Hondas in the past since like you
said they run cool compared to other
cars. My challenge is the shaved
head/higher compression on the D16Z6
is creating a hotter running motor than
stock which has lots of power
during the first few minutes of running, then
slowly starts losing ponies
as it warms up (radiator & coolant are new BTW).
Here in FL
the heat factor is more dramatic in the summer so I'm willing to
try this
stuff and see what happens. Little Beast is becoming very fun
to
drive as I slowly chip away at each issue one by one (ignition,
timing,
cooling, etc.).
