Did you purge air out of the system? Have you done cooling system maintenance like a flush, new hoses, coolant etc? Cooling fan working? Any other issues like white exhaust smoke?

Try running it with no thermostat. Check for piston compression. Checkradiator buy removing the cap and look for air bubbles.
