Overheating Issue

I have a 1998 Honda Civic EX. 166xxx miles. I just had the water pump and radiator replaced. Even after these repairs my car is still overheating. Initially the temperature will be normal (half way point on gauge) and after approximately ten minutes it creeps up. Sometimes it will go down a little, but eventually it goes back up and I have to shut the car down before it hits the red. Any ideas? The cooling system was pressure tested and there were no leaks.
Thanks.

Re: Overheating Issue

Do you have heat? I would say your headgasket is bad. Have someone check to see if your getting exhaust gas in your coolant.
Change your thermostat just to be on the safe side.
