Just changed the water pump on my 2000 Chevy Malibu, but the engine still overheats. What can this be from?

start with an oil change to a thicker oil (20w-50) , but it may be cam bearings (that is where the pressure is taken)

Remove the valve covers. Place you hand on the rocker arms. Should not rattle. Push back on them. If the push rod easily go down, then your lifters have collapsed. If all the rocker arm appear loose, then there is excessive cam lobe wear.
