    Default overheating problem

    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

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