The coolant path from the radiator ends at the original thermostat which is clearly not opening at all. If the wax capsule has lost any wax, it won't open the valve and the engine will overheat. A fully operational inline stat won't prevent that happening. Inline stats only work if the standard one opens, typically at too low a temperature for normal runnung.
