i would find out what the problem is before starting down the bodging route, could be a stuffed rad or even a thermostat

ok filled with water,bled system ,she runs as sweet as usual apart from oil leak from front cover so is this a d i yers job and as anyone else had this as i thought the head gaskets didnt need much of an excuse to blow

di you actually check the stat in a pan of boiling water and see if opens, and take the rad off and flush it. could well be a partial blockage in the rad. i would try and track it down just in case it happens again and theres no pond about for ya to drain
