Did you fit a new thermostat ?   Not uncommon for these to be damaged in an overheat.

do i take it that you replaced the cylinder head??
as the two i have done have both needed new heads due to being cracked or warped.

failing that make sure the cooling system is bled thru correctly.are you getting hot air from the heater??

just a coulple of thoughts

hope it helps

Have you cleaned the radiator by hosing through the fins from the engine side towards the front of the car? (Nothing higher than mains cold water pressure though!)
Is the viscous fan working properly?
