Default Cylinder Head - Replacement
Had my cylinder head re-surfaced, pressure tested, new valve stems and was told the fine. When I pulled the head off I determined a blown gasket between #3 and #4. Put head back on with Fel Pro gasket kit install went good no issues. replaced the upper and lower radiator hoses, water pump, thermostat, aux fan. I still have a heating issue. I burped the system. The only thing not replaced was the radiator. Any ideas? frustrating.

Replace the radiator, 90 bucks. Hindsight is always 20/20, probably should have done it while you had it drained.
