I would say that the first thing that needs to be checked when a "cooling problem" appears to be present is the instrumentation. It is necessary to check the calibration of the probe-indicator system to be sure there really is a problem. Put a probe into a pan of water and heat it with a torch and see if the indicator shows near 212F (sea-level) when the water boils. If that is done and it is OK, then the IAS indications above and below the cylinders should be converted to inches of water and compared to the engine spec for the required pressure drop. If that's OK, then maybe there is a mixture problem.
