Looks like you did it correct. If the head checks out ok, inspect the block. Otherwise I would order new set of gaskets or try and clean/reuse your current cometics and prep them a tad different next time. Was the gasket bore larger then the chamber of the cylinder head?

is it a line from the front coolant bypass crossover? or do you have it running straight from head?
Also i have seen excessive coolant pressure caused by a bad radiator cap...i know its simple but it DOES happen...
I always approach things with the KISS method, and then if that dont work i got to the more in depth reasons it could be acting up...
Good luck man, hope you get her fixed...
