Engine Cooling problem
2002 Mazda 626 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Replaced thermostat, radiator and reservoir caps, checked hoses and belts, engine not missing or acting up, no change in look of oil.

What else could I look for or check?

Learned something else today when going to have the pressure checked. The pressure cap goes on the reservoir not the radiator got them switched. The reservoir has a very small leak at the seam and put sealant on that. Right now everything seems OK.
