I had the same exact symptom as yours. The big rad hose was also hot so I thought that the thermostat was opening. I was right, but it only opened partially that's why the temp was going up. I replaced the thermostat and flushed, all is well. Don't be quick to think it's the headgasket unless the coolant reservoir has bubbles. Thermostat is easy and cheap to r&r, just move the hoses out of the way. There is a write up on the board. '98CSE
