[DeTomaso] Bad head gasket question ?

[Konrad.Szwab at AlconLabs.com]

 This is the original head gasket, I have no idea that it could be
backwards. I had the car for 15 years, was always kind of running hot.

Have you verified the headgasket is not on backwards?  There should be
a tab sticking out saying "front".  If the radiator isn't getting hot
but the engine is, then the flow isn't getting to the radiator.  A
headgasket blockage could do this as well as problems with the bypass
or possibly casting debris in the water jackets.  I flushed a
surprising amount of casting debris out of my engine when I had it
out.
