The lean condition could cause mild overheating in and of itself. I was driving around with a clogged radiator and removing the transcooler (I use it as my cabion heatercore now), richening the mixture and running water slowed the rate of heatup so much that I could drive around for almost 30 mins before it was in the red. I was running straight water and it would only boil if I opened the radiator (like an idiot) while it was hot. Otherwise no boilover. I had no rust protection and if it freezes overnight.....
