I have a new (never started) 582 grey head. I hear rumblings over cooling issues. Anything here I need to be aware of on a Model III installation?

I have a greyhead in my KF III and it works fine. During a hot summer I change the mixture of cooling water from 50:50 to 60:40 (water:freeze), thats it.

No real issue on mine. It can get up to 180° F on the ground but settles between 160 and 170 in flight. Make sure to run a thermostat and let it warm up to at least 150 before attempting flight.
