I was sure that the problem was the intake gasket because it was in bad shape when I took the intake off. One thing that I did notice is that when I went to bleed the cooling system I was getting nothing but water from the bleeder above the water pump but seem to get a lot of steam from the one around the thermostat. I am stumped, the only thing I can think of now is the head gaskets and I really don't want to pull this thing apart again! Any ideas? I am getting 3x signal error, low voltage to the water temp sensor and knock sensor codes, all of which are new this go around but that does not explain the overheating.
Have you flushed the cooling system? Including the heater core? Thoroughly? Put the garden hose in every hole, till it comes out somewhere else?
