Re: Cleaning the radiator
Diastole, You are running too hot. The coolant flow is likely too slow. This would allow the coolant to cool in the radiator but the engine would still run too hot. I am guessing but this seems the most logical conclusion. I would take your radiator to a good radiator shop and have them work on it. They may say that it is time for a new one.
One thing that happens to old radiators is that the fins work loose from the tubes so that there is not good heat transfer. This is another possible problem with your radiator. Ask the radiator shop to look at that.
