Will an aluminum radiator fix the overheating of the drivers side cylinder head? Has anyone logged coolant temps before and after installation of Fluidyne or other aftermarket radiator?

I would say it really depends on your usage type ... and horsepower level..
Not a lot of data logging out yet.... but Bob Cosby is really getting serious with some great testing ideas and he is logging as he goes...

I doubt it. The problem is that coolant enters the left cylinder head from the front, goes to the back and then then turns around. On the right cylinder head the coolant goes in the front and out the back. There just isn't good flow in the left head plus by the time the coolant gets to the back of the head it's already absorbed a lot of heat.
