    you need to use a cooling system pressure tester to answer
    this question. you may have replaced wiring, spark plugs and relay, but you did not replace the water pump or the radiator hoses or the heater hoses or the heater control valve.

    could overfilling the antifreeze/coolant after a recent radiator replacement cause head gasket to leak? does steel seal work on my gasket?
