Alright, need some help guys I've gone every which way with this and not sure what else I need to do....

So my head gasket finally blew out in December after running stop leak in it twice I know stupid move lesson learned the hard way so here is what is going on. I have already replaced the head gasket and all top end gaskets, replaced the radiator, thermostat, resivoir jug, and refilled and run the engine however it is still running hot or just below the hot mark and I still have no heat even though both lines coming off the heater core are warm to the touch around the same temperature But when I turn my heat on I barely have any warm heat at all and the night the car went down first thing that went before the overheat was I lost heat, now I have flushed the heater core out with a hose and it seem to flush fine and I reattached everything but still having this issue. Any help be greatly appreciated.
 
it sounds like you still have air in the cooling system,
 
is there an easy or proper to bleed the air out of the system that I may not since this vehicle doesnt have a bleeder valve of any sort on the cooling system
 
-engine cold, remove the surge tank cap and make sure the system is full.
-Start the engine and watch the surge tank level. Be sure as it warms up to sharply rev the engine up and down rapidly. Usually this will purge the air.
-Keep topping up the coolant as it wams up and keep revving the engine up and down,
Keep an eye on temp and also set the heater in the cabin to full heat and watch/feel for heat.
Ideally this will purge the air out and as it gets hot, the level will rise, put the cap on and see what that does.

If it bubbles through out the warming you still may have a head gasket issue. Did you have the head checked to make sure it didnt warp?
 
Yes head has been checked and I keep monitoring the oil for signs of coolant mixture nothing so far
