Did you also replace your thermostat? If it's stuck closed, engine will overheat.
When you did the HG, did you have head checked for cracks or warpage? A cracked head will cause severe overheating.A warped head may or may not show signs of external coolant leakage. Either of these conditions can occur if overheating is severe enough.
Are your hoses in good shape? An old hose can collapse when it's hot, and restrict flow. Feel them (when cool) for any sign of sponginess.
New radiator cap? The cap provides a seal to pressurize the cooling system.
Finally, how about your water pump? Any sign at the weep-hole of leaking coolant? Your water pump inner seal is bad, remedy is a new water pump. Or maybe the pumps' fins have corroded and not pushing coolant sufficiently. If there is corrosion, get the whole system flushed and start anew.
Pull your spark plugs and look for any sign of coolant in the cylinders. I know it's a pain to keep going back and checking, but you gotta be thorough. Plugs may be blistered white from overheating, but if you get it fixed, they should be alright.
Now, finally, really: sometimes, Randy, just a small air pocket in coolant can cause overheating. So, make sure you bleed the system if it has a bleed screw, or fill, cap loose, run engine till t-stat opens, level in radiator drops, then re-fill, and add coolant to your overflow reservoir to around the full hot mark. Tighten cap, and you are done. Good luck.

I have a Nissan Serena and it's overheating but the mechanics can't figure out the problem because the radiator and head gasket were changed. The gauge went up but it's still overheating.

Question edited to what I think you meant to say.

It appears to be a known issue on this vehicle. Try changing the thermostat, burp the air out of the system well with heating on full, radiator cap off and keep topping off until the cooling fans click on. The cooling fans do work??? If non of that works, sell it at auction quick! It has a history of overheating, blown head gaskets and turbos.

My 505 keeps overheating after the head gasket has been changed 4 times

If your head gasket has been changed that many times, and you are sure the head was checked for wharpage, you may have a water problem. Check the temperature from another source- a digital thermometer and verify it is actually getting hot. Then check radiator for blockage. Replace the thermostat. Verify the temerature control sensor is good.

The only other thing I can think of is maybe you put in the wrong kind of coolant? Not every type of coolant works in every car. Other than that, try head gasket sealer because if your head gasket is leaking, it can't be a big leak, otherwise you'd have problems right away.
