After running it for a while (and working it) does it actually overheat and boil? Put a candy thermometer in the radiator neck and watch it. If it reads the same as the gauge, and coolant is flowing well, the cores could be plugged up in the radiator. Then no matter how well they are cleaned on the outside, they will overheat due to lack of flow through all core tubes. Also after running it up to "hot" and shutting it off, feel the radiator to see if parts of it are much cooler than other parts. If so, try a professional flush, followed by a gallon of vinegar in clean water for an hour of operation, then drain flush again with H2O, and refil with coolant. If it still heats, the radiator will need to be cleaned at a shop, or rebuilt. JimN
