well duh
sorry i could not help my self. well anyway how would using the stock head bolts cause it to over heat. he did not say it was leaking or anything. duh!
i would bet you have air in your coolent, or pipes or what ever. just blead it and see if that helps.

If your block is not properly o-ringed then mass amounts of coolant will seep into the combustion chamber...causing you to overheat.

Re: head gasket on backwards? (BoOsTeD_eK)
it could be upsidedown cause my friend did that
he actually put it upside down and wrong side there should be a hole for the
vtec oil pressure on (assuming you have a sohcVTEC) left side and there should be a label on the head gasket to say which way is up
