    You are correct on the configuration of the thermostat. The retainer spacer goes on top, with the spring of the thermostat going in the head.

    The last time I took a radiator to have it flushed, it didn't come back all that clean. The shop had been working radiators for us forever. They said that the environmental goons had made them start using chemicals that were not as effective in eating the gunk from within the core. Same way with parts washer solvents, and carb cleaners. None of it is any good. Replacing the core will be your best case solution to your overheating problems.
