1990 volvo 240DL Overheating

[Sal Lubrano]

I am working on a 1990 240dl which overheats even on cool 60 degree days. I have replaced the fan clutch, water pump, thermostat, o-2 sensor, MAF and radiator. The temperature has been verified it is not a bad temperature sensor. The car is actually overheating I hear the fan locking up and blowing air but still overheating. I am at a loss what to look for next. Anyone have any ideas? No engine codes stored. Could a bad headgasket or intake gasket cause overheating? Don't know what to look at next?

Can u run your hand over the radiator to verify the heated water is circulating from top to bottom of rad?

Yes the radiator is getting hot. I started the motor holding the top hose and waited. The top hose started to get warm then hot moments later.
