The TR2,3,4 and 6 all have the same problem with overheating when adding coolant. Air bubbles get trapped in the head, and hot spots result. I've had both my 4A and 6 short term overheat when starting up after a major repair. I now use a device which allows a vacuum to be pulled on the cooling system, checking for leaks, and then adding coolant; all in one operation. Very swift.
Side Bar: I overheated my Lemons VW Rabbit engine so bad that it melted part of the aluminum cylinder head, all because of air pockets.
Good luck, Scott in CA
