For future reference you can easily make your own gasket. I do it all the time. They sell the material in rolls. Get the heavy duty stuff if you can. then spray the housing with something, I use Dikem, and press it onto the material and cut out the pattern.

As for the overheating, you need to burp the system. Let it run for a bit with the radiator cap off. You should be able to tell when it burps. Then top it off. It may take a couple of tries.
