ok things to check...
proper mix of anti-freeze to water??.....in correctly mixed can cause temp to be off as much as 30°
fan working correctly??.....fan clutch bad??...electric fan coming on when its supposed to??
thermostat correctly installed??...needs to have bypass hole correctly clocked....not doing so will cause over heating...
water pump working correctly??....if its bad or going bad can cause overheating....
head gasket broke??.....oil and water don't necessarily leak into each other.....especially if its a "small" leak....
radiator dirty?? or clogged??.....are the fins straight?? is the fan shroud in place and drawing air correctly??
are hoses good?? most radiator hoses fail INTERNALLY....meaning piece of rubber becomes a flap inside the hose which works just like a valve or plug....
