How did you purge your cooling radiator and coolant pipes?

Did you check your thermostat or replaced it (maybe it's stuck and not opening correctly?)

When filling the coolant are you squeezing the lower radiator pipe? Also, when bringing it up to temp, put the heaters in the car on max speed and the hottest setting. This will help force air out of the heater matrix
