Default OVERHEATING PROBLEM

I have a 86 gt i can drive it for a good 30 mins before it starts heating up and its doesnt matter if im in traffic or on the highway. we have put a new water pump,radiator cap,thermostat and the fan and radiator is fine. we can a check for a head gasket leak and it checked out fine but im still thinking its a slow head gasket leak dont know what else it could be. any input would be much appreciated

Is it loosing coolant, does the oil look like a milkshake, and is the exhaust have a constant white smoke comming from it? otherwise no need to look into the head gasket as those are the signs its leaking.

well it souds like u have eather a cylender head problem or a radiator problem. Try having your radiator checked by a radiator shop, and flush out the cooling system. And if that dosent work you might have a cylender head problem. You could have a head craked. I have had this problem befor. Let me know how it gose!!
