Get it block and pressure tested to rule out the headgasket, head and block. Also pressure test the radiator cap-

Might want to bleed the cooling system.

It may be that your using just plain water. Remember to use 50/50 pre mix coolant. (Green) it also might be your thermostat is suck in the closed posistion.
