I was reading some of the past post tracking your problem. It has been my experience that assuming that everting is OK may lead you down the wrong path.
The engine was built and set for 20 years isn’t a bad thing. Was there any signs of flaking inside the block? Still recommend addressing the radiator. Adding sealant to a system with compromised tubes is no bueno.
Similar conditions with my F1, restoring the radiator was key to maintaining <180 temps
Just my 2 cents........
