It's got new thermostat new radiator no water in oil and we don't see any water coming from any where
Forget the heater. (but pump is good guess too..)
engine overheat, is top issue.
id you fill it correctly with 50% antifreeze the burp out all the
air? that is what above air lock means as does air pockets.
all air out of system (read a book on cooling system service)
it covers all those details.....
dead cold, rad cap off.
fill it to top, of rad (for get side expansion tank for now)
fill it run it with cap off and keep adding 50% AF
then when full start engine.
the water level suddenly drop, stop engine now
add till full, repleat until hot water (hot tub hot 105f not 180f)
starts to expand (water expands hot) then stop engine
cap if off, drive round the block, come home
let cool 100%
take of rad cap, still full , good, no add more repeat ,drive can cool cycle test.
if it still overheats and is full, the pump is bad.
or you put the thermostat in backwards.
here they all are, all causes, and tests.
