a - 200 is not a hugely problematic temp, if you get up over 240 that would be a big concern. 260 should be shut down immediately
b - fixed fan so clutch can't be an issue. you didn't mention it but i would be shocked if you didn't get this, new radiator hoses, yes? and the hose for outlet side of the radiator has a support spring ( you're going to pull a vacuum on the outlet side of the rad ) on the inside?
c - the new overflow bottle is single line? if two line, how do you have it plumbed?
d - get an old set of panty hose and cut off one leg ( no holes in the leg you use ). pull the hose off of the inlet side of the radiator, drop the panty hose leg, toe first, into the inlet side of the rad, wrapping the top of the leg back over the inlet nipple to keep it from falling into the rad. re-attach the inlet hose, securing the top of the panty leg.
this forms a trash trap, after running the car for a week or so you should pull the panty hose out of the radiator and see what trash you've picked up in the toe of the panty leg.
you would hope that the hot tanking got the block clean and ... didn't simply knock a bunch of scale loose but didn't get it out. if you've got trash in the panty hose there is probably a BUNCH clogging up the new radiator ...
The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.
