Sounds like you have covered all the simple common
causes, the thing I caught was the low tempature
of the coolant in the block! Are you sure it is
acutaul getting hot or is it just burping out the
radiator due to an air lock in the system, this
can be correected by bleeding the air lock out by
loosening the Tempature sender at the top of the
head letting trapped air out, bleed until collant
appears. What happens trapped air turns to steam
building pressure causing coolant to be forced
out. Thermostats will not open with no water sensed
tempature agaisnt them! If this isnt the cause you
may have a pinhole or a cracked liner, Hole or
crack may not be bad enough to let coolant in but
it will alow the system to pump commpression into
the cooling system, (Like a cracked head or bad
Head gasket. Good Luck
