I believe those engines have plastic fins on the flywheel, are they still in good shape and clean? Is the flywheel screen clean? Did you remove the mesh from behind the grille?

It can be one other thing..... it is not a heat issue at all. Only an issue that occurs when the engine is hot. Doesn't mean it's overheating.
OP: Maybe it's time you go spend that $2000 you said was no big deal to blow on the ol' 782.
