IMHO, things to check first:
1. Fan belt wear would reduce your fan's efficiency.
2. Add an electric fan. One with an adjustable thermostat you can adjust is a
nice touch.
Have had the same problem, but discovered the electric fan wasn't turning on at
proper temp. I think if you were able to increase the air flow through the
radiator at slower speeds it would correct the problem. A new electric fan is
certainly less expensive than replacing a cracked head.
