Nope, if you remember the Hino show car the Samurii, back from the late 60s
early 70s.  The firm I worked for converted it to a Fiat Powerplant.   Had a
massive overheat problem.  Much money was spent on all kinds of radiators,
including several very expensive ones.  The final "trick" is what i
discribed, and it worked.  Why, I haven't a clue, just that it did.
   Whatza Aero-K-Whopper??.
