Overheating issue, searches suggest BHG but i'm not convinced!!!

The best way to get a BHG out of the way is to do a block test. If it's negative, you know it is a coolant line somewhere.

There aren't any coolant lines near the intake manifold that I know of. The ones in the back of the head are annoying, and there's another smaller one underneath the power steering resorvoir as well.

Assuming it's not a BHG, or if it is and you plan on fixing it, replace ALL the coolant lines, double check your work, and don't worry about them for another 20 years

you can't trust that temp gauge , mine used to do the same thing (spike) an aftermarket electronic temp sensor proved the stock gauge was whacked ..

the temp gauge is just one small problem you have .
odds are it's a BHG . it would be helpful to figure out what went "clunking "

I know, but it's somewhere on I30 probobly flattened out!

The dealer that I bought the car from just changed the clutch fan and radiator fluid. Is it possible that there is air in the coolant lines?

odds increased

I'm convinced

There are 2 coolant lines that run under the intake manifold. One comes from the throttle body and connects to the water bypass pipe. The other comes from the ISC valve and connects to the lower intake manifold's integral nipple.

As IHateHacks said.
