Engine temp sensor fell off. Didnt notice it until I had run at 80MPH for Like 1/2 hour!! Replaced head gasket. 20 thousands taken off head. Replaced head gasket w/felpro composite gasket. Put her all back together w/ARP bolts. Still overheating like mad. Since I got her so HOT,:: angry :: Do you guys think I could have a cracked or warped block. Tks..........

Did you check the block to see if it was flat? Have you burped the coolant system? Have you retorqued the head bolts? What did you torque them to initially? Did you clean out the head bolt holes before reinstalling?

Cracked head / block is easy enough to diagnose, pick up a block tester from your local NAPA and do a check.
