With the radiator installed...and
the beginning of all my problems...

So...after I installed the radiator, a new radiator cap, and thermostat, I began having overheating problems. I went down the rabbit hole trying to figure out what went wrong, since it did not overheat before the radiator install.
I must have gone through 20 gallons of distilled water thinking I had air in the system. I made the mistake of using a plastic gasket instead of a paper gasket at the thermostat housing, and found a leak. And I thought, that's it! But still, that wasn't the problem.
I gradually went through the coolant system, checking for leaks, and replacing the old components that should've all been replaced from the get go (e.g. hoses, thermostat housing, etc.). What can I say? I didn't want to spend money if I didn't have to.
In the end, it turned out to be the intake manifold gaskets.
