Try this for shits and giggles...While engine is cold, remove the radiator cap, and stick the end of a garden hose in there.  Turn on the water and engine, and just let the water overflow from the radiator, and accasionally rev the engine up and just play around w/ the throttle!
I did this after i replaced my radiator hose, and had it overheat on me.  After that it has run just under the middle mark on the temp gauge!

good luck,
