have you replaced your rad cap..that could be shot?,allowing the cap to Open early and make it look like the engine is Overheating when it isn't..What does Your Temp gauge Say that the engine is "doing"??..But the best thing would be a cooling pressure test..also a engine compression test..if the car Frequently overheats there is something wrong.and yes a blown coolant seal could do that,by letting Engine Compression into the Cooling system..Oh another thing,is I am wondering If the Thermostat was Installed the "right Way".it could be simple as that too.
