    i have no way to open the front any more than it is,
    if i let the car set and idle 15 min or more with the hood open the temp still starts climbing , just not as fast!!
    could it be the rad. in not big enough? or could the radiant heat coming off the headers be enough to heat the engine bay up & therefore over heat the engine? would wraping the headers with header insulation wrap help? it supposedly lowers engine bay heat by 70%??
    or is this most likely a radiator issue.
