Yeah, I was wondering about that when you said rust.  I drove a friend's 
Subaru that heated up on the highway or above 45mph.  Turned out to 
be a plugged up rad.  Lots of calcium.  If yours is that bad, you may not 
get it acceptable.  Often those little white marks that you can barely see, 
at the edge of the gauge face, indicate on and off points on the rad fan.  :)
