    When you put the head gaskets on, did you make sure the holes in the block for water were the same size as the head gasket? The same goes for the manifold gaskets. If the gaskets were not matched to the holes in the block, that can lead to lack of flow.

    Oh yeah, a hose CAN cause overheat. Look at the lower hose with motor running. If it collapses, it will cause flow restriction. It's best to have a wire coil in the bottom hose. ( looks like a spring )

    Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.
