Fire it up let it run and see how much flow your actually getting thru the system. it should hardly get up to operating temp with the constant flow of cold water in system.
That will tell you a lot. you can even measure gallons per minute in a five gallon bucket.

Great idea. I like the idea of trying small things first & checking them off before tackling the bigger stuff. I plan on running steam port vents on all four corners & moving the hose from the water neck housing on the pump to the upper radiator hose to see if that make a difference as well. Fingers crossed.
