wow, what a set back on my car. I took it to a shop to have it checked out becuase i was running hot... My worst fear, exhaust gases in cooling system. Heads where checked for cracks when i put them on the car, head gaskets are brand new. They are put on right and everything is torqued to spec. Only thing i can think of is a cracked block... If so, there goes my lower end, thats shot.

Ouch...cracked block would suck...

But i have seen more than once faulty head gaskets if it eases your mind.

Was the car acting up before the new gaskets.
