What is causing your 1990 Honda Civic to still overheat after replacing radiator water pump head gasket radiator cap and thermostast?

Answer
When you replaced the headgasket, did you have the head checked? It could be warped, causing the gasket to fail, or worse it could be cracked. I've also seen the water jackets within the block crack if it overheated to many times.
