compression test will be performed on Sunday.Originally Posted by Jared
Didn't notice any smoke or liquid out the tailpipes last night at idle, but when I took it for a spin, well I don't know cause obviously I was driving.

and if it is the head gaskets, what would make the blow?
How hard or easy is it to replace the gaskets and are my heads gonna be warped or re-usable?

That sounds like HG to me....
No way. You are crazy. Hot expands. That is why we have a cooland overflow bottle. The car got so hot that the coolant boiled over. then once it cooled, it retracted back into the rad/engine.
Rush, you have a timing problem!!!!!!!!!!! Bottom line. What time do you get home? I need to run to Monaca this evening. I could stop by if you are not too far in the boonies and fix this problem once and for all. This is getting out of hand here. It will take 10 minutes to yank the dist. and turn it to get the proper timing.
Max, the reason he was not overheati9ng driving home was due to the fact of the 65-70 mph air going through the rad. Leaving his housing plan after having the car idle for 30 minutes, the car was at operating temp. Once he started to put it under a load, it started to get hot(no air moving into the rad). So, either he has a bad clutch fan or the most obvious, a timing issue.

Head gaskets are easy to change. The hardest part is getting the front of the motor apart without breaking the bolts. Everything else is simple. If you read my thread on my project, you will notice that I did mine. Checking the heads is simple also. Use a straight edge and a feeler gauge. If they are good, its a one day project. Two at the VERY most.

i hope your right wick... for his sake.. i just know that when my car had HG problems the exhaust was pressurizing the coolant system and making it heat up and spit out coolant so i was speaking on personal experience, not the norm... i would think that he got into traffic ONCE OR TWICE and stopped a few times on his trip back and nothing heated up....get down there and straighten it out so it saves me a trip

Yeah, but when he had the car running for 30 min with the cap off, it would have been puking a ton. He would have also seen a ton of bubbles comming out from the rad.

yep. for the most part I was going 70-80 on the TPK. Once I got to monroeville and down to pittsubrgh was only going 50 or so. I didn't take the parkway home either. Since it was a decent day and the top was down, I took the slow Rt. 65 route where it is 45mph max the whole way with many lights. everything seemed fine on Sunday. Parked the car and monday morning on the way to work is when it started heating up. problem ever since.
Don't know what changed from sunday to monday morning

Thanks madmax. if it saves you a trip then that is good. I'll post up later tonight if Wick can stop and check it out. Hopefully I'll have good news to report. I REALLY appreciate the effort guys. If we ever get together this summer for a meet or somthing, a couple beers are on me.
