Lets think about this...You said your oem engine blew? So did you get a used engine and put your old head on it or got a used long block with a head? Coolant can only get into the CC a few ways. Cracked bores( which I doubt it is as you say its all cyl) Cracked head again may not effect all cyl. Warpped head or block. This is most likely your problem. Check both surfaces with a straight edge. A real straight edge not a old metal ruler.
