I have 1997 Ford Taurus I put a these itims are new Water Pump, Radaitor, pressure cap, Thermostat, sensor, tested for cracked head and gasket that was good> But still gets hot

check that you put the thermostat in the right way. Body into the water and not the hose. Check that the fan circuit is operational with the fuses and relays operating normally. If it is an auto check the temperature of the transmission oil as it is cooled by the radiator and that will make the car run hot if the oil is over heating from a transmission fault.

If both heater hoses are getting hot, the problem could be a stuck blend door under the dash.
If only one hose is getting hot, there is a blockage in the coolant flow somewhere.

Where is the coolant bleeder on a 1998 ford taurus 3.0 engine

You can bleed the system of air by removing the radiator cap while the engine is cold. Turn the heater on high and let the vehicle run until it reaches operating temperature. The thermostat will open several times and purge the system of air. Feel the top radiator hose occasionally until it heats up. Don't forget to replace the radiator cap.
