Overheating during cam break in

Gotta blow air at the rad. Or at least spray water on it. The engine fan alone can't be making enough air flow to cool it down at higher temp. Engines run hot on break in as is already.

you might try jacking the front end of the car up when you fill the rad., some times that will let traped air out during filling. I had a 406 vega that had to be done that way. I even had block side water plumbing, and a rear coolant crossover on it which all helped.
