    1. replace thermostat, and remove jumper from fans
    2. proper bleed the system to ensure there are no air bubbles
    3. run car, make sure fans are kicking on and spinning at adequate speed
    4. use a gauge to check temperature throughout radiator.........varying temps=clogged. A small variation is normal
    5. leak down test to check headgasket

    thanks for all the help it was the temp sensor that was sending wrong info , so it wasnt really overheating but the gauge would show like it was hot .
