Default Engine Help!!

Hey Guys, I was hoping that I might get some input on recommended shops for services, or I can host some of you engine gurus at my house. I am not looking for basic services, oil changes, etc. I do those myself. But this is the first summer since I put the motor back in that I can really drive it. Had it out a couple of times and need help finding a shop or someone that can..

1. Help me make sure that my coolant system is working correctly. Car seems to run very hot 180d w/ fan running, seems like it is hotter under the hood then it should be.
2. Make sure the timing is set properly.
3. Help me figure out if I have an exhaust leak, car backfires excessively when de-accelerating. I know that this could be a result of the timing but I am not sure.

If anyone is available and can help me out I am more then happy to supply food and beverages, if not, can you tell me of a good shop that I could take it too? I am in the Jefferson Park/Edgebrook area.

I appreciate any help/advice you guys can give me.

- Tim
