I chased this demon for a couple of years and looked for everything before I realized I had a light duty 2 core radiator that worked fine as long as the outside temp was below 90 degrees. Let it get above that and it could not keep up.

Start with the radiator and if that is it call Gery at Bergs Radiators and get him to build you one.
As I mentioned above, I had the radiator completely cleaned, inspected, and some minor repairs done, by a good radiator shop. It is a triple flat core radiator.
