Try a radiator flush. Also if the motor leaks oil, it will combine with dirt on the motor and insulate the metal causing the temperature to rise. If you have low exhaust pressure you exhaust system may be plugged. I saw something like this happen a few years ago when the engine needed an overhaul and instead of blowing blue smoke, the catalytic converter was burning it and causing it to glow. You might try a minor tune up and the air filter, change the plugs and plug wires and see if the condition improves.

Check your oil,see if you are getting water in the oil.Could be you have a cracked head gasket.If so the oil will look creamy.
