- Try removing the thermostat completely. The engine will be slow to warm up, but will show you if there isa problem with the thermostat or not. Take a look at the lower radiator hose, it may be colaps

- You said the engine overheats very quickly. How quickly? Like a minute? If so, this is more than just water overheating, as it shouldn't come up to tempurature under load for at least a few minutes.
