this in French. of course I have to find some one that speaks English and
understand radiators too.

If they changed the pistons and cylinders, they certainly had to deal with
the head gasket. The head gasket fits between the cylinder head and the
jugs themselves above the pistons. They can be touchy to get installed
properly and the manner in which the head is torqued back on can make or
break a head gasket.
If the motor over heats, you are can see: Ring damage, piston damage,
head damage (warping), valve damage, etc.
Take care,
Mike
