HI, you didn't mention changing the thermostat, these can get stuck closed or partially closed and cause overheating., suggest you install new one, especially with yours being 7-8 years old, some thermostats don't even last that long.

I have the same vehicle with the same problem of overheating is it possible that I install the head gasket the wrong way & not have a leak of coolant?
