8) then i think you have found the problem and the solution. these days most rads are boiled out chemically instead of being rodded out as there is less chance of damaging the tubes.
 
Last car with a heat problem I saw was a cracked head. The coolant eventually freed up the crack in #4 chamber. It had been filled with Chemi-Weld, but we didn't know that. Did you check for a cracked head?

just drive it in a state with cooler temparatures...say Alaska

j/k
 
You can sample the coolant and test it for the presence of carbon monoxide. That is perhaps the "scientific" approach, when no huge clouds of white smoke are present (yet).

Well, the reason I ask is not because of my inline 3.3L, its because of my friends inline 3.0L 7MGE Toyota Supra engine.

Symptoms:
1) It overheats randomly
2) Untill 2.5KRPMs, its fine, but as it climbs above that, theres more and more WHITE smoke.
3) It runs fine untill the random overheat.

If it is a cracked head, is there any way to fix it?
