Its possible that you may have a partial blockage in the radiator. With the engine running and warm, feel the radiator (careful, it could be very hot) or use a non contact thermometer to check for cooler spots on the radiator. Sometimes a few of the passages become restricted and coolant flow simply goes around the blocked cores and flow through the other cores. If you feel any portion of the radiator is cooler than the surrounding area, you probably have a blockage. Also, make sure you have a thermostat installed, and that all air is bled from the system. Your engine needs the restriction from the thermostat to keep coolant in the radiator long enough to extract the heat efficiently. Radiator caps that do not hold the required pressure can also contribute to overheating. I suggest you have a qualified mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic.com, inspect your radiator and provide any necessary repairs.
