Get one of those laser thermometers and start checking out your cooling system. Check various spots on your radiator and block for temperature differences. If everything is below 200 degrees, you probably have a guage out of calibration. Don't aim that laser at the exhaust, it will never work again.
Just a suggestion,
Scott
