Well, I'm not sure about the heat problem, but I used the same product and it turned my coolant a dark brownish color. My 85 Turbo runs somewhat warm in stop and go, but very rarely more than 3/4 and never in the red, and I have yet to switch the thermostat and fan switch (although that will be very soon). I guess what I am saying is that it is unlikely that the stop leak is causing the overheat problem unless it really clogged something up. I didn't use all the pellets though, just about half per the instructions on the bottle and the rad setup on the Saab seemed like pouring in the whole bottle was not a good idea.
I know when I lost compression in a cylinder and had a small hole in the head gasket in my old base, it really ran hot, so maybe look there? Good Luck
