Make sure all the basics are covered.... cooling system needs to be in top condition.

Unless you know the radiator is excellent, have a rad. shop check it out & rebuild if needed. Install new hoses and a new water pump (unless you're sure it's good). A coolant recovery tank (and rad. cap for a sealed system) will help by keeping the radiator full at all times. Have a fan shroud and a heavy duty fan clutch, and a 7-blade oem-type fan.
