Fan? Is there one existant? Is it on? Also did you relieve the pressure when filling up with antifreeze? Cuz if not there is probably a bubble in your heater core.

when does it over heat? when driving? idling? did you bleed the coolant system properly when you installed all those new parts?

Was it overheating before you replaced all those parts? If it was, you might be looking at a headgasket issue. If it only started overheating after the parts replacement, then it is probably just an air bubble issue.

true, may be headgasket issue. but if you installed the parts, you might have fixed the initial overheating problem, and created a new one if you didnt bleed it properly.

check your coolant level and try bleeding it again. another sign when the head gasket goes most of the time you will get white smoke from your exhaust. or sometimes you can get exhaust smell out of your coolant res.

i dont remember on my ka, but it takes a few tries for RB's to bleed out properly.

pull out your thermostat and boil some water up to the temperature where the thermostat is suppose to open up. Toss that beezy in there and if it doesnt open then the thermostat is bad...
