Based on my experience with the Alfa, all you should have to do is cool the tank on the radiator while keeping the overflow/expansion tank full. We never shut the engine off, just got a bucket of water and poured it on the top tank of the radiator, being sure not to splash the block, and kept the overflow tank full as the water was sucked back into the radiator. My son was amazed at how fast the overflow would empty back into the radiator as it cooled down. Because of the unknown to us at the time problem with the cooling system, it would immediately start to over heat again as soon as we got back up to speed on the freeway. Once we were home and discovered the problem and fixed it, it would sit all day at 180* and not overheat.
