I had a heater core installed 1 year ago and replaced the thermostat 2 months ago and the cap last month. The car still overheats and boils over. Whats up ?

If its not leaking, water pump okay and radiator is not clogged best bet is to have it block and pressure tested-could be air lock/blown head gasket, cracked head and block-
