same cooling system, try using a colder thermostat in the system. should keep the temp down. my engine has 10.5 to 1 compression. if i leave the summer 180% thermostat in in the winter my car never gets to operating temp, and if i leave the winter 195% thermostat in in the summer it will get too hot at lights. i also have an e-fan witch rarly comes on in the winter and only when stoped in the summer. if you have a cooler thermostat in then maybe you should flush your system. maybe try some water wetter if all else fails. best of luck
