alright just put my freshly built LS into my integra. it has a brand new water pump, thermostat, radiator and radiator cap, and i replaced the brand new head gasket that went in with the new motor. i put on another new head gasket yesterday because thats the last thing i could think it was. even with another new head gasket it still overheats. can anyone give me an idea of could still be causing it to overheat

That or you didnt get the head shaved before you installed the head gasket an its warped , or bad fans, or bad thermostat,

i didnt get the head shaved so i guess that could be possible. the fan is fine. and the thermostat is brand new

Always get the head atleast shaved, it mates the head an block to seal right, an fixes any warped heads....everytime I am installing a head, I get it decked an checked an cleaned!

are there any other signs that would show that the head was warped other then overheating?
