Steve, your first X-country was less troublesome than mine. On my  
first X-country, I lost piece of my new exhaust thru the prop,  
overheated the engine from too many takeoffs too quick, made my first  
gear up landing, transponder was not working, pittot pas leaking,   
but I made it back :)
My temps were fine even on the hottest days. Looks like you'll need  
to fix your cooling by the summer. Keep us informed.
