who installed the pump and t-stat?
was the cooling system properly bled when refilled?

if all else looks good, is it possible the t-stat is stuck open? what was your original problem?

What do you mean by 'checked the headgasket'? It's not something you can just pop the hood and look at.

LOL. Right? And what would you go through all the trouble of checking the head gasket for? Are you saying that you had a coolant leak? Check to make sure that your system is bled properly. Air in the system will be an issue. It very well may be your thermostat as well. Why did you buy a new water pump etc etc....Sounds like we're missing part of the story.
