Check your head gasket and use the search next time.

do a compression test. is their coolant in your oil? or oil in your coolant?

Did you burp your cooling system properly after replacing the thermostat and wp?

run the car with the radiator cap off, and heater/fans on high.

Also elevate the front end to so the cap is higher than the engine
