You'll need to pressure test it for leaks, it may need more bleeding then your able to give it if one of the cylinder heads or gaskets are leaking internally. This is a big problem on any older car. I'm sorry I can't be more precise and many times the heads must be removed to find the problem. But it is done every day. Today I am absolutely sure of because of the way my back feels. It effects the heater also, sorry. Always replace the head gaskets in pairs. ok nikki
