This is a serious problem. Due to overheating, some engines get burned valve guides and need head replacement. There is a pretty good theory that the cooling capability on this engine is insufficient, so the damage is done sooner or later. Some drivers think an upgraded (hi-flow) water pump is an answer to combat it. There's also a modification to plumbing the improve water flow.
