The thermostat and radiator fan switch was replaced and the coolant level was topped up. What other possible factors can there be?
rad cap, temperature sensor or radiator?

The front of the rad could be covered in mud/dirt/shit/road debris.

wrong timing, to low octane of fuel

Did you check the quality of the fluid? Mine was a brownish colour so I had to change it recently. Get a shop to flush it out and see what happens.

I found the problem with the overheating. one of my rad hoses were leaking and the thermostat housing had a crack. It was then replaced so everything is alright. Thanks.

One more question. Where did you get your 4agze because i'm possibly thinking of doing it. It's either between the 4agze or the 4age 20 valve. If not, is it worth putting work on the original engine cause I have the headers,fuel pressure regulator, exhaust etc?

Sorry! That was me who messaged you. I was under my friends name Celi88.

Happened to me too. Try redline waterwetter, great stuff, lowers temps, provides rust protection.
