Message I searched a bit but didn't find anything reasonable. Whats a reasonable/efficient troubleshooting procedure for overheating?

My best guess would be something like this, but I'm sure the Bernies and Woodys of the world have this down to a science.

1. is there air in the system? pressure test, fix leaks
2. Is the radiator clogged? flush with hose
3. Has the water pump failed? check weep hole. Any other failures possible?
4. Does it hold proper pressure? Check....?
5. Has the thermostat failed? easy check? or pull it and throw it on the stove in how water?
6. Is the HG blown? Check for.....?

Putting AMS garbage, and $500 ebay wheels on a Z is like
dressing a Victorias Secret model in a Walmart dress and
Payless shoes. You're embarrassing yourself.
