PATR8

After I got back from Iraq and warm weather had broken I started to play with my TR8 again. It ad come down with several cases of bubbling paint, a power steering leak, and a case of running hot. It ever over heated but the guage was running about 3/4 instead of 1/2. I checked the guage adn it was fine ad even the temp sensor. I Knew when I had rebuilt the engine with higher compression pistons and a more radical cam that it would run hot. That combined with the 95+ degree heat we have had for an exended period made me realize a new radiator would probably solve the heating. I ordered an aluminum one from Woody (Wedgeshop). It was pricey but I am getting ready to install it Thursday. The question I have is should I flush the block before I install the new radiator and what type of coolant should I use. Any suggestions? Thanks
