could be a number of things, but If its happening right after that work was done, Id say the most likely cause of overheating would be wrong timing. Im guessing advanced... as this can cause much higher temps. Also If the belts were tightened down to hard it will cause the engine to work harder as well, (this makes more heat.) The other thing could be the simplest of all, there is air in the system. If it was not filled with coolant fully and correctly you will have heating issues. -----HERE'S WHAT YOU DO----- When cold, jack to car up in the front (so the cap is at the highest point), open the radiator and fill it with coolant. then start the car and run the heater, this will open the thermostat in a couple of minuets, once it opens your coolant level will drop, fill the coolant again at this point and you have successfully bled the air from the system.
