Pull and test the thermostat.

You also need to do a cylinder leak down and check for bubbles in the cooling system. This can be accomplished by blocking the lower hose fitting at the water pump, filling the engine with water through the now empty thermostat housing.

A leak down test is the only reliable way to test for a combustion chamber to coolant leak.
