We have checked the plugs on cold start with no noticeable issue, but I suppose we can try this easy enough.

The old radiator was fine, it just had a couple of leaks that were too tough to repair, and it was probably time for a new one anyway. But I suspect you may be right, a very small compression leak that isn't showing up anywhere but still escalating water temps.

That's certainly worth a try. I'll report back on this stuff later in the week when we have time to wrench a bit more.
Any other suggestions post 'em up.
Thanks guys.
