Wick brought up the use of an IR gun. This is a good tool to measure different parts of the engine and cooling system. The head will run a different temperature than the temperature of the exiting coolant. It will also measure a different temperature fore and aft. The IR gun can be used to diagnose problems with the radiator such as clogged tubes.
