Reasons for overheating?

Radiator looks ok, I have reversed flushed and there was a little muck.

Thermo looks ok too, the correct temperature rating (I think) 180F.

Hoses seem ok.

Water pump works ok.

Engine block - not sure. It has been flushed and some much came out, but not much.

Ideas and advice appreciated.

Thanks.

Does it open is the better question, pull the stat and dump it into a boiling pot of water... let sit a for a bit and see if it opens, if not time for a new one... Had that happen on a Stant stat after 14 months of daily driving, it just would barely open and stick killling the water flow...
