Only a guess but assuming the hoses also are new, there are small water ports that run through your engine block and heads to provide cooling in between the cylinders. If the mentioned items were replaced due to a leak or leaks in the system, then there was probably some form of "radiator sealer" or "stopleak" stuff used which could then seal those small ports. Unfortunately this is not uncommon as they sell stuff to plug "larger" leaks and it ends up plugging the small ports. They sell radiator flush that you run in your radiator for a set time period, it MAY help bring some of that stuff out of the block. My advice is whether or not you use the rad flush stuff, take it to a reputable shop in your area and have it hooked to a machine that will completely push water through and flush the entire system.
