Question 03 civic over heating problem?

Does anybody know what would be wrong with my over heating problem?

I replaced my water pump, thermostat, and head gasket and its still over heating was wondering if any body knows whats wrong with it. I got the head cleaned and resurfaced, and the guy said it was alittle warped. Its a 03 honda civic with 167,000 miles on it.Just let me know what you think is wrong. Thanks

He's saying it was milled because it was warped.
