Car got very, very hot the other day (one of those 100F days and humid as hell) car just wouldn't stay cool. So started looking at things and both low & high speed work on the fan, water pump isn't leaking and no other visable signs of leaking, it isn't coming out the tailpipe and it isn't getting into the oil! but I'm getting air into the rad! Pulled a couple of plugs out on each side and pressure tested while the engine was hot but still nothing. I'm so pissed !

it may be worth it to pressure test all the cylinders just to be sure. i know when my rad acted like that, i had 7 of 8 cylinders blown in the head gaskets.

good luck.

All back together!

Took the heads to the shop and found one warped by a several thousand, but everything looked good so we just decked the heads to true the surface, and put it back together, seems to be ok. Still running a tad warmer then I'd like but it is doing what it should.
