My 22RE cruised to MCR7 at 65 mph through Redding, CA at 100 degree ambient temp and was running cool, even without a fan shroud.  I was very pleased with it's performance.  I have Redline Water Wetter that seems to help a bit, but this situation seems like something is simply not working right.

has the engine been bored oversized??  when i bored my 22R to .060 oversize  i had to go to a v6 radiator,  because the stock radiator  would overheat on the interstate  or  hwy hills

I wouldn't expect the standard Toyota design in perfect working order to be this close to not providing enough cooling?  There's a lot a variables with older rigs.
