I would change out both impellers (port and stbd; do one, do both) and perhaps move on to pulling the heat exchangers and taking them to a local radiator shop to have them boiled out. This will give you a base line at least for routine maintenance items. Those items are easy to do. If you find you are missing a few vanes from the impeller, start looking downstream in your cooling system to retrieve the broken pieces. I would bet you will find your culprit and get to know your engines.
Also, if you don't already have one, you might want to invest in a laser thermometer. Get the engines up to temp and shoot the cooling system. Good luck!
