I just fixed my head gasket and i still have the smae problem????????my cars temp gauge goes all the way to the bracket by the H and stays there...my fan kicks on but my temp guge is reading really close to hot???????any ideas of what it could be

 

open the radiator cap and see if the fluid is circulating while the car is on. if its not i might think the thermostat's not opening

 

Change the T-stat to a 180, and bleed the cooling system by the manual...



EDIT...
What EXACTLY did you do to fix the head gasket???

 

If you're not leaking anywhere and you've fixed the water in your oil (or the oil in your water) then the only thing left is the thermostat or the water pump. Do what Jugador said.

 

i just put a new t-stat in.....and thier was never any water in the oil even when the head gasket was bad???and i had the radiator cap off and it seems like its circulating......sometimes it spits back up

 

after you refilled the radiator did you start the engine let it run for about 15-20 minutes..rev it up once in a while (with the cap OFF)? Sounds like you also have air in your coolant but if you've done everything then the only thing left is a water pump as long as you're positive about everthing else. Water is circulating?...the only thing else to do is test you t-stat with a gallon of 200 degree water and put your t-stat in it and watch it open so you know for sure it is working.
When it over heats....does it boil over? does it back into you coolant recovery? You might just have a bad senting unit.
In other words when the gauage says it's hot is it really HOT?

 

if you changed the t-stat, you probably have air in the system.....or your waterpump is shot.

 

my waterpump seems fine no leaking from the **** hole???? and its not moving around side to side??? Its probaly my head gasket.....i don't think i fixed it right but ill get it professinaly fixed in mid january...

 

do you have a temp gauge to keep track of when the tstat opens etc? that REALLY helps

If you dont see anything leaking when the car is hot you should be ok with no leaks in the radiator or hoses. Air in the system will cause for it to run hotter bc it assumes the "air pockets" are still water and will close off before it gets all it needs to get...so bleed the system FIRST

 

ill try that tomorrow anybody know where the bleeder valve is on a 97 model
