This is probably what I need to do.

I hope this isn't hijacking a thread, it's relevant after all.

I have recently finished installing my newly assembled 3.0 603 in my '91 350SD. The block's cooling passages are perfectly clean, as is the #22 head. I installed a new Laso water pump, new Behr radiator, correct MB coolant and a new MB 80deg. thermostat. I have driven the car about 500 miles, and the ambient temp has not been above 70deg F. The running temp of the car has consistantly been about 90, and one time off the highway it climbed to 100. Point is, I can't think of anything else I can do to lower the operating temp. Am I missing anything?

Thanks
