[QUOTE="JGrossijr, post: 1367292, member: 57946"] Were the crank seals replaced? Bad crank seals can be the source of running lean which would cause additional heat & inadequate lubrication. The spark plug is not suspect. The only difference between the plugs you have is center electrode & ground strap design, they are the same heat range. A better plug would be the BR10EIX, but it will have no influence over combustion chamber temperature. You can also rule out thermal transfer differences between a plated bore & a steel sleeve bore. The fact that it is boiling over indicates that heat is being transferred from the combustion chamber to the coolant. You have a problem that was caused at some time between the cause of the crank failure & the rebuild completion. Focus on what happened in that time frame. You could have a cooling system failure, but unless the the radiator is defective there is no point in changing it. [/QUOTE]
