Read this on a forum what do you guys think, can this prevent from Head Cracking ?

Owner refuses to believe radiator is blocked and thinks a liquid flush is enough

The viscous fan needs adjustment or replace.If you can gear it working then it isn't working as much as it needs to

Lack of transmission cooler dumps even more heat into already ineffective cooling systems.

A worn torque converter will highlight this even further

The factory gauges are very slow to react to increases.This means the clueless layman wont notice until too late.

People believe getting hot is ok as long as it's below the red line.
 
Have a read through this: Ideas for improving the 2LTE

My experience is that the newer cylinder head is much improved. Overheating is easy to prevent with the right modifications (primarily: upgraded thermostat, fan clutch maintenance, and a larger fan). Also, things like intercooling, removing emissions and some tuning can yield a lot more power out of the motor.

Take a careful read of build threads on this forum like this, and you'll learn what you need to do: Builds - 1992 LJ78 build/refresh

Also, do some searching. There are 1000's of posts that talk about the 2LTE issues.
