In any aircraft when you are at full performance settings (throttle + rpm) I never ever dare to close the rads a little bit because overheating is looming.
If you are in a dive, and during the dive have reduced throttle with full open rads, you will cool your engine considerably to the point you can close rads for a short while when you level out.
