Default 89 hatch with SOHC ZC overheating PLZ HELP!! I need my car back!!!

hye guys my hatch is over heating and i dont know why i tried to put a thermostat in it and it didnt help. Im thinkin its the headgasket but there are no other signs
there is no bubble in the rad, no coolant in the oil no signs on the plugs nothing it doesnt make sense to me. Its a SOHC ZC stock other than intake, headers and exhaust. It has a new rad, the fan is working!, no leaks what so ever, it doesnt seem to be using antifreeze either. If anyone can help me i need my car back to go to work
I drive 250 KM per day I need the fuel milage. PLEASE I need help

it doesn't matter if you put a new head gasket in last week...Did you do any resurfacing when you put your new head gasket?
