Default Seville STS running hot

Since my water pump went out I've had the waterpump, radiator, thermostat, waterpump pully replaced. Now the car runs hot after 3-5 minutes. What could it be?

Default RE: Seville STS running hot

Dear need help,

While your car is running, remove the radiator cap and check if radiator fluid is bubbling out. Next step take a look at you exhaust, if you see white smoke coming out of your tailpipe you could possibly have 1 or both head gaskets blown. If this engine is all aluminum, they have a tendency at higher miles to seperate the gasket from the head which cause's overheating.
