something as simple as filling and emptying on the same side of rad seems to me to be a weakness of 300 ,nearly all 300 overheating hgfs have had poor rad as cause (and its a good few) whereas 200 with diagonal conventional hoses rarely suffered (basicaly the same engine with the same head gasket )
