Ive changed the radiator, water pump, thermostat and it still runs hot. I use 50wto synthetic oil and 91 octane. Single cam. Any ideas on what could b wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

burping is the same thing as bleeding, u need to bleed ur cooling system of any air or else ur gonna have hot spots in ur rad and ur pressure would be off so u may still have air in ur system. you can search this ...things i would also check if ur car is running hot is the sparkplugs u should be running 5s if its a ka .... and the the fuel filter perhaps its not flwing enough fuel may be clogged and causing you to run a bit lean and with the spark plugs even leaner lol . it could be the culprit and check ur timing he may be right

Switch to 10w-30 synthetic oil. Having thicker oil will give you more oil pressure but won't dissipate heat as fast.
This is assuming you've already bled your coolant system out properly and everything is functional as it should be.
