I started working on the overheating problem again. When I removed the temp sensor in the head, water began running out. I think this would tell me that there is no air at that point.
I have been reluctant to believe that I might have put the head gasket the wrong side down.
Going to try letting it run and begin checking the temperature at the places suggested.
I will then drill a hole in the thermostat and try that before I begin wrenching the head off.
I guess I will be busy the next few days in my spare time.
This is the best time of the year here in Maine to be riding around checking out the seasonal changes.
Must get this done early in the week.

Thanks for all the suggestions...
