"And the post about coolant moving too fast without a t'stat to allow cooling to occur in the rad is incorrect."

Respectfully disagree. Without the thermostat slowing the flow of coolant, the coolant can pass through the radiator too quickly for the radiator to bring the temp down. The high temp at the radiator outlet supports this.

It also supports the possibility of a clogged radiator, as you suggest.

Might also be the wrong design thermostat - that little round disk at the bottom of the oem design is critical for proper cooling. I doubt that's the cause here, though.
