IMO there's something still wrong here. NEW radiator and temps still that high? There must be a ton of crud in that block and/or blocked passages or timing marks not lined up. How's the waterpump? Is it possible the water is moving thru the rad too fast to cool down. I don't think I would be comfortable running at 190. JMO
