On the uphil, the engine tended to warm up a bit. I think that the radiator should be washed really well, to prevent this. Use some simple green, spray it on, let it sit a bit, then wash off with a garden hose, until the water runs clear. The radiators tend to pick up a lot of dirt in part because of the rear tires and any oil mist in the air makes the dirt sticky.

All good info Fred, I just have one comment. Regular simple green is corrosive to metal. In the airplane business, we use aviation simple green, which costs just a few more bucks than the regular formula, and is not corrosive to metal.
