My car keeps overheating. I changed the thermostat, radiator cap, checked for leaks, and flushed the system.

Good morning,
Since you have overheated often, you may have damaged a head gasket in the motor.

I would do a leak down test for each cylinder. Remove all the plugs and add shop air to each cylinder. Watch for any movement in the cooling system. If you see movement, that is a head gasket leaking.
