Cooling System Now Running Hot!! 2001 VDP

2001 XJ8 VDP Cooling System is building up way too much pressure and is now running hot. The water temperature reading is 220, and the temp. gauge now at 3/4. The hoses are expanding and are now filled with pressure and antifreeze even after car has cooled down when hoses should be empty.
This is what has been done:
(1)The 3 way connector for the left side heater hose (heater return) was replaced (nipple had broken off) along with the feed and return heater hoses---all under the intake manifold. Old hoses were very mushy from all the excess pressure.
(2) New intake manifold gaskets
(3) New fan water pump housing polished and new gasket
(4) Fresh Antifreeze
Head gasket is fine. Why is all this pressure building up?
