Did you reverse flush the block with a garden hose or some such when
you did these replacements?

Before doing anything more you need to do a cylinder leakdown test on all
cylinders and/or check for the presense of exhaust byproducts in the
coolant,
there are test strips for this, to eliminate a failed head gasket.

I am not sure why you think a failed head gasket would always result in
steam
out of the exhaust pipe.
