When you say gasket, do you mean the head gasket? What does the termp gauge do during operation. Does it heat up when idling, but cool down on the freeway? Does the temp gauge go down when you turn the heater on full blast while the car is idling or in traffic? Let me know, I am can hopefully pinpoint the problem.

It might be the cooling fan, any dummy lights on, on the dash?

Check that the fan "RELAY SWITCHES" are connected, and functional. The other thought is that the fan motors may be shot. A new assembly might be required.

ok did you change these parts yourself? If you did, you might have air in the cooling system and that is causing poor circulation to cool your engine, so you will need to bleed it or get rid of the air.

What are relay switches ??? And you think air is stopping the fan from spinning ???? Or is the clutch out ???
