roger that bartamos, might check to see if the grill has any trash on it...you know, like the nascar cars get all those wrappers on them. all of mine have gotten hot by.. stopped up radiator or
one that leaks, closed shut thermostat, water pump usually as
Bartamos stated, a slow one leak, busted hose,broken fan belt, being in a mountain area, or behind a flat bed chevy truck with granny gears in a very long parade, and was begging for air to get around it..

being a fool and putting in new antifreeze and then not
closing the radiator peacock tight, losing the fluid
early one morning and not seeing the temp gauge getting hot and ruining a good 232 engine in my 70 International pick up..

those would be the issues I had, others may vary.. but, seems like that folks do have problems with running hot after a rebuild.. I have never had that experience so...

last my not least, is it possible to have to much antifreeze in one?
