It has to do with a lot of things in the vehicle:
Here is a list of suggestions to go over, perhaps one will help out
someone.
Is there a bunch of crud "rust" in the bottom of the engine block?
Are you running too much anti-freeze? (Ethylene glycol sucks as a coolant
compared
to water).
Are you running without a thermostat in hopes that you will run just
lukewarm?
Is your spiffy water pump with the deteriorated plastic impellor moving
ANY
water around at all?
Is your fan mounted backwards?
Does your radiator have so much scale in it that the thermal transfer
sucks?
Is your engine running right (air/fuel, timing, advance)?
Durring the last "repair" of your radiator, did the shop cut corners, and
solder up
the end of the leaking core instead of brazing the leak?
Are the copper fins in your radiator plugged up or bent so as to impare
air flow?
