I concur with David (49Packard) above.
I had a heat riser stuck last summer. It basically preheats the air to the intake manifold. While that is great in cold weather, if it is stuck it does not shut off (year round). I suspect a stuck heat riser can raise engine running temp in the summer by 5 to 10 degrees (maybe more, I've not tested it).
Do a 'heat riser' search on forums/blogs to find old discussions and pictures.
