Hello,
Pretty late at chiming in here. And it appears you are on the head gasket replacement. One thing to double check when you get it all back together is the ignition timing. While it is apart make sure the timing marks are correct. Too much timing advance can cause the engine to overheat quickly. Good Luck, Bernie
