Well I just adjusted the rockers earlier this week and probably about two days afterwards I was sitting at a light and decided to punch through the gears and low and behold when I get home I notice coolant bubbling out of the overflow tank. So I took it for a drive after it cooled down and it was fine until it warmed up, then the temp gauge went up and I could smell coolant, turns out it was overflowing and smoking off of the headers. I just replaced the heads a few weeks ago. Think I should retorque down the head studs and see if maybe that helps, like I have a head gasket seal issue. I haven't retorqed them yet and am wondering if maybe after a couple heat cycles they lost the seal. I really hope to hell it isn't the head gasket, but any other opinions? I know that's a sign of a head gasket leak. Thanks in advance. :SNSign:

Nevermind I am like so frickin stupid. I changed my radiator cap and that fixed it. so DUH!!!! The one I bought last week musta been a dud and not worked so, I guess testing them is a good idea from here on out
