RS Overheating Need info!!!!!!!!!!

Hey its like this. My 92 RS is suddenly overheating. I dont know what could be the problem. It gets around 240 on the temp almost on the last yellow line sometimes. I know this is bad news. I could crack my block. I wont even drive it out of town. I have a new thermostat and the fan is running. I have a new fan relay switch. Could it be the water pump? I really need some answers here.

I just finished an overheating battle with my '92 RS (135,000 miles).

The first problem was the radiator cap. I replaced it and the overheating stopped for 2 weeks, and then the radiator split a seam.

I replaced the radiator and it now runs between 160' and 200' consistently -- even in 104' temperatures!

Thomas.
