My car keeps overheating despite all the things I've tried

I have a 2001 Lincoln LS V6, 3.0L. It keeps on overheating. I have replaced the water pump, coolant, thermostat, head temperature sensor and also flushed the system. It still overheats though and coolant bubbles out of the degas bottle when it overheats. Please can you give me a decent anwser someone?

You may have already fixed the root cause of the initial overheating but in the process you got it too hot at least once and now you likely have a blown head gasket. You will have to get it chemical tested for that.
