new head

[biggs]

ok whats up this is my problem my car overheats the second you start it and i was wondering if i replace the head and gasket just in case there are bent valves from the overheating also the waterpump and all the timing parts why i'm in there do you think i would be up and running whats my chances the car had a head gasket put in and i think i got on it to soon and it overheated on the spot and when you turn the car on it goes straight red i also took the valve cover off and one of my valves wiggled a little and finally i noticed a little white smoke after trying to find the problem so i just stop starting it to prevent further damage

Your post is alittle confusing. Are you saying you got a new headgasket installed and then you got on it and the car started over heating?

sorry i was not clear i got a new head gasket put on and drove it for a while then i got on the hwy. and ran it at 80 to see how it would handle and then it starts to overheat and blows off the radiator hose. i got it towed home the next day placed the hose back on and every time i start it the hand goes red hot so its kind off hard to find the problem. a few guys i know said the head might be warped thats why i was going to change everything. the 4g63 engine is hard to find in georgia and i do not want to chance ordering out of state plus the ones you do find are more than the car is worth.

Ok so you just replaced a headgasket..right? Well the head could very well be warped if you didnt have it resurfaced before you installed the gasket.

no nothing has a chance to come on becuase when you start it its not holding pressure just goes red
