Default STILL overheats done everything!?

Ok so I bought this car to fix and sell made the mistake of selling it to a co worker after I slapped a new headgasket on it and a week or so later it blew another one so I put a fresh head new gasket still running hot! So now it has a new thermostat water pump flushed the coolent from the block and the raidiator still over heats WTF some one please help! I just went out and got a new motor but I figure I will see if anyone can help me before I go threw the hassle of swapping in the motor oh and pressure tested coolent system it's fine. Any ideas? It's a 94 eg bone stock!

yeah, it could be the rad. Inside it still may flow, but could be 50% clogged up with calcium deposits from not being flushed often enough in the past

Try no thermostat and see where your temps end up, this will tell alot, if it says cool or too cool at least you know your cluster and sensors work.

Then try a better quality thermostat as iv put in brand new autozone/advanced/napa ish and they failed me.

Couldnt see waterpump fins disapering since they are steel.

Current radiator could be clogged, try a friends. If all else fails pickup a dual core aluminum radiator, those cool very well. Iv never seen calcium deposits block it that bad but i never doubt anything with cars.. darn machines.
