Okay my car was running hot and overheating so I did the following:
After the following my car still runs hot and since the cam was put in and only when i try to start it for the first time of the day, it starts and dies starts and dies, starts and dies. Then after a couple times it starts and starts fine for the rest of the day.

Changed out:
Water pump
Thermostat (drilled small hole at top and bottom to help bleed)
Temp Sending Unit
Engine coolant temp sensor
Radiator ( I bled the system thoroughly)
Cam (From stock to a B-cam)
Head Gaskets
Timing Cover and Water pump Gaskets
Bypassed the Heater Core
Spark Plugs, oil, and fuel filter
Cleaned Air Filter
**Set timing to 10 degrees with spout disconnected**
Upper and lower Intake gasket.
Valve cover gaskets
Replaced the header gaskets
Put new injector seal kits in.
****My FAN is turning on as normal.****
Did a compression test and all cylinders were within 10 psi of each other.(before I replaced the gaskets)
Cleaned MAF and 02 sensors(which cleaning the sensors with MAF sensor cleaner is what is causing my o2 codes to be thrown at me)
Both of my o2 sensors are throwing codes...

I dont know what else to do? Any suggestions??
