They are supposed to keep the coolant from boiling so that it stays in contact 
with the surfaces inside the block so that heat transfers.
Use a good synthetic oil like Mobil 1 and fix whatever is wrong with your 
cooling system. Put on a heavy duty waterpump to push the water up to the 
radiator and experiment with different radiator cap values, as high as 20 pounds. 
Make sure no air is going around your radiator, seal around it, put a small 
spoiler just behind the radiator to increase the vacuum behind it and to 
prevent hot air from being sucked forward and back through the radiator. Install a 
good coolant recovery system so that the system is completely full of coolant 
and have a good strong set of fans (25 amps, a 50 amp relay and #10 wiring and 
heavy duty wiring clips). And a good shroud. If all that does not work along 
with a good free flowing thermostat then your radiator does not have the 
capacity to take advantage of the afore mentioned fixes. 

Good luck.



All the best, Dick Ruzzin.
