	I don't have any tips to fix the problem, but when they get hot like that, you shouldn't just shut them down except as a last resort. Better to let them idle and cool down, UNLESS they just keep getting hotter. When the engine is that hot and expanded, it's hard on it to cool down and contract that fast. Did you try blowing out the fins with an air nozzle and see what comes out? Edited by Allis dave - 23 Sep 2016 at 7:07am

	I had the same problem with my F gleaner. Turned out the timing was way off. It is very difficult to see the timing marks the way the engine is positioned on the combine. Try setting the timing correctly, then make two visible marks on the pulley and timing cover where it can be seen easily, so you can check it periodically.
	Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.

	We used to have a Gleaner F with the Chevy 292 gas engine. 4 row corn head and 13 foot table. It always ran hot. The dealer claimed it was just the way they were. Suggested we keep the fan belt "fiddle string tight". Not enough radiator capacity. Always a good idea to keep the radiator clean and check the rotary screen for plugging. Once I had an oil leak in the hydraulic hose near the radiator's rotary screen while combining soybeans. Talk about running hot then!!! Had to take the screen off, go back to the house, and wash the screen with soap and water. Put the screen back on and it plugged up with soybean dust again. Took it to the shed and cleaned it with gasoline. Scrubbed it good. That finally cured it. We never had any engine problems with it, though. Just always ran hot.

	LOSE the muffler! It is too small for that engine - it holds a lot of heat. If you look on the inside of your bin, you will probably find a scorch mark that area. My dad removed the muffler on his F years ago. Got a piece of pipe bent to the shape of the muffler and ran it for years. It was much cooler and was not any noisier!

	also check the inside of your rotary screen for build up of dirt on the blades. that will slow the screen from turning and as you are running dirt may be building up on the outside blocking some/most of incoming air. also check the bearing. this happened on a neighbors combine once.
