As both both the Blenheim and Fiat G.50 suffer similar cooling issues, independent of their overall performance issues, I'm tempted to think there is a global problem with cooling, or air density, etc...
Hence you can have the rads on the water cooled aircraft open all the way, all the time, with no loss of performance or worry about coolant temps getting too low.
