The two basic problems that I've run into with air/liquid heat exchangers both have to do with flow - either the air or the liquid is moving too slow (too fast is also a possibility, but not very common and certainly not your problem).

You seem to have good air flow (although your testing methods are not very reliable). Low flow is usually caused by a bad pump or blockage (stuck 'stat, something in a passage, heat exchanger pluggage, etc).

You've checked all the easy stuff. Go ahead and pull the pump for inspection. Use your borescope on the block while you have things apart.
