You could warp the head... that is always fun.

What is the problem? Fan not activating? Blowing white smoke? Coolant in your oil?

Check for leaks

Burp the system to realease any air bubbles. To do this remove the radiator cap when the car is cold and start it up in your driveway. Let it reach idle temp (takes 15-20min). At this time also check to see if the fan activates. If you see the temp reach mid way and the fan isnt activating then it could be a few possibilities.

Go try and burp the system and tell me what you find then we can go from there. PM me and I will go over a few other things

If that is the case the next thing I would do is run a compression test. Have you changed the oil recently? Did you find the oil to be milky or light brown in color?
