Radiator was flushed new thermostat installed after temp guage started going from normal to hot and back again etc. Problem persists No anit freeze leak in crank case or external or exhaust. One mechanic told me head gaskets, another mechanic is not sure, pressure tested slow bleed down, asked if it was original water pump. It is. Car is 1 one owner. Can you help? Thank you.

If you're not overheating and temperature gauge acting weird-recheck the thermostat, test the coolant temperature sensor or engine temperature gauge sender, could be also the gauge itself.
