You should take it to a rad shop and get the whole cooling system cleaned and flushed,then pressure tested to eliminate it before goig any furter because an y other cause of overheating is going to cost you a bundle.
If you are going to the expense of replacing the head gasket, it would be false economy not to also replace the thermostat at the same time.
Particularly if you are attempting to solve a overheating problem.
Fllow top radiator hose from radiator to engine, where hose clamps on engine is called a goose neck thermostat is under that, it will be held on with 2 bolts. are you sure you got all the air out of system when you chg. water pump? If you don't bleed all air out of system it will not blow hot, because of an air pocket in cooling system.
