As for temp throw on a new radiator cap and throw in a 160* t-stat. I got one and it runs fine. Swap it for winter though but you shouldnt have to worry about that. If it still overheats I would take the radiator to a shop and have it tested or just buy a new one as they are not too expensive.

Flush it all out before you do anything. Flush out heater core also.
