might as well replace your thermostat while you were getting the radiator fixed. A radiator is no good with no air flowing through to cool the water.

Well, it's good that you don't have oil going into the radiator, but you need oil in the engine. Way too much friction will cause your car to heat up real quick. Just playing. Your fans could be the problem. When you're moving, you get enough cooler air in the engine bay, but when you sit, the heat created by the engine just sits there. Get those fans working.

Try a coolant system flush. You might need new coolant.
