    older 85 chrysler overheating

    older 85 chrysler overheating this is a buddy's mtr, he has checked and replaced all the usual stuff but mtr still overheats above 4800rpm. any one know of a good flushing solution (this is a 100% salt water mtr) thinking he has some sort of build up causing this.
