ANSWER: How long did you let the engine run after the repair, sometimes it can take up to an hour for the old coolant to clear out of the exhaust system and the steam to stop.

QUESTION: I let it run for about 30 to 45 min.at different times,and it started to get hot after I drove it once.Guy who done my heads at the machine shop said they was good to go.
AnswerThe coolant has to come in somwhere, it's entering the combustion chamber or through a crack in the intake or exhaust ports, the best way to verify this is to do a simple block test but there is also a possibility that the headgaskets were mixed up left to right, do you think this is possible?
