An oil cooler kit is very useful at keeping the oil cool so it maintains its viscosity. It's a 'must' for an engine that is used very hard for example in racing or towing etc. But while it will help at keeping an engine cooler in a very hot climate, its effect will be very little in a 42 degree traffic jam in Cairo. I think you'd be better off spending your money on a new three-core radiator and possibly a larger Kenlow fan. Also make sure your water thermostat opens and closes at the correct temperature and your fan switch on the radiator works correctly; if in doubt replace it when replacing the radiator.

I'm not sure on the Fiat twin cam but on some engines removing the thermostat can cause overheating problems. Removing it doesn't always increase the cooling effect.

How about using an electric water pump like the link below, that way the pump can turn as fast as it needs to even when the car is in traffic.  Wink   expensive but should do the trick.

P.S  I forgot,  have the radiator re-made with a thicker core, that works as well.

i think all fiat here in egypt canceled that water thermostat not radiator thermostat cause the water thermostat after awhile will not work ( bad type )and will re enter the hot water in engine again
