Did you completely purge cooling system of all air.
Did you use an OEM thermostat?

yup its been a week already when we done changing the head gasket and all the thermostat are OEM

Could be a bad coolant temp sensor - how long are you driving before the temp shoots up?

around 15 minutes drive already one thing i'd notice is when i rev the engine the temp sensor also going down to normal temp and when i got home and pop up the hood water went to my reservoir near to full

Fans coming on
yes its coming on...use the car again and temp seems normal when i park i checked the reservoir water level is above the F, thinks its normal since engine was hot gonna check again and observe some changes...

be sure to purge the coolant! I had this very same problem an it took 3 flushes to get it right! an yes I changed the same identical items as you with the exception of the heads.

isnt it normal if the temp sits near the mid of the gauge?

isnt it normal if the temp sits near the mid of the gauge?Thats what i was thinking Its suppose to be in the middle.

[lowprofile69]

yup its normal if it sits near the mid but going above mid but not totally to the extent in the redline is not normal...



recently still experiencing temp shoot up but once you rev the engine till 3-4k rpm it goes back to normal, i have doubt about the thermostat, it might not working well even it is brand new and OEM one...well i'll try to change it again if still come again...

This just happened to me i flushed the system and to let all the air out there should be a bolt that will take a torex right by the top left of the radiator and when you open it watch out its under pressure and will shot out after ait has left.
