Default 1993 civic ex Luke warm heat not getting hotter

So I recently did a headgasket, thermostat, heater control valve and flushed the core and I have luke warm heat but it wont get hotter. Engine gets to normal operating temp just wont blow hot air. Any help or insight is appreciated thanks again.

Did you bleed the cooling system?

RonJ@HT, sounds like he's on the right track. This actually happened to my old ef si when I did the complete flush when I replaced the heater core. This seems like the place to start.

Thermostat might need replacing as well. If it takes a while to heat up.
