As far as the lazer, test at thermostat housing. Also the top or inlet of radiator and the bottom or outlet.
If your radiator is cooling , fan draw ok ect. You should see aprox 30 to 40 degree drop in temps between the inlet and outlet.

After we retired / sold the place I tried to stay busy around home ect.

No Saturdays :thumbsup:
