Running hot

I have a 8series that is running hot. The radiator split on the plastic side. I put a radiator water pump thermostat. Ran hot again, put a head and gasket both temp sensor. New thermostat again, still runs hot. Have bled the system what am I missing guys? I have literally redone the entire coolant system what else will cause my overheating

How long does it take to run hot. Upon starting and then hot or after 1/2 hr??? If over a hour , check inch pedal cable adjustment. Slipping the transmission will cause overheating by just losing a few pounds psi on having it adjusted correct or operator is misusing the pedal and riding the clutch so to speak.
