whatcha got the rad out for? now is a good time to inspect or change your belt... inspect the tensioner, look over the hoses, flush the block... oh, how about checking the length of the brushes on the alternator... how does your water pump look? maybe pull it and inspect the vanes. if it's not been painted, perhaps you can sandblast the rust off it, and paint it black... pretty much anything that's on the front of the motor should be seriously inspected. and as usual, I agree with Brian. take that rad to a carwash and pressure wash it from the back side. get that sucker totally free of bugs and whatnot.
your car will thank you by not overheating!
