I have been following this thread from the beginning and I am amazed at how thorough and diligent you have been at trying to solve this problem. I know that this is a crazy idea and involves a lot of work but if you cannot find the problem to your 100% satisfaction, why don't you remove the body and see what happens? I also think the problem may be the engine, not the cooling system. By taking the body off, you can see if it still runs hot once and for all.
