You have to give more details on what you consider "shit". Could be a whole bunch of things but telling us what its doing will narrow the list down fast.

check you timimg, even though I doubt that could be because you are getting good compression numbers.

Make sure that you do not have a bubble in your coolant system, when I replaced my radiator a bubble got stuck in there and the car woldnt idle right.

I would check that and go from there.

I wish I had blown it, believe me, I do...

Run the engine with the heater on high and the radiator cap off for about 10 minutes. Keep filling it up if the coolant level goes down. That should get rid of any bubbles in the water.

Or go to NAPA and get a $20 spill free funnel and let the engine idle for 20 minutes with the funnel on and coolant half way up it.

Or do like I did and make a bleed valve on the tstat housing emoji
