Were the water passages completely cleaned of all rust during the rebuild? Also was the water distribution tube cleaned, checked and replaced if needed? This is often over looked and a cause of chronic overheating.

Some obvious things to check are a plugged up radiator, dodgey waterpump, bad or partially opening thermostat or engine timing advanced to far.

If you have a bad head gasket, then frankly all bets are off and that could be the cause of the overheating.
