You may have cracked the block. They tend to crack between the cylinders. Or there is still air in the cooling system. There is a bleeder screw on top of the water pump housing, start the car and open the bleeder. Let it run for a while with the bleeder open till just coolant comes out. It will kinda sputter out when there is air in the system. Just watch the temp gauge while you do it.
