It puts out so much air that I back the machine up to fire piles to make them burn quicker.I suspect it's still the radiator. I've never heard of rodding before. But if it's what I think it is, you need to recore it and get it overwith. My 555 with a Perkins was overheating and that's what I had to do. I had them add another core section just to be sure. It cost $550 8 yaers ago. Also, the poor compression and not starting leads me to believe it's time for new rings or rebuild. My 555 had a broken ring. It wasn't hard to start but did smoke until it warmed up. Eventually it consumed about a quart of oil per hour and spit oil from the muffler.</blockquote>
