Re: Head Gasket Blown?
 

So far it looks like the head needs to come off. I removed the
thermostat and drove to the end of the street. I checked under the
hood and was hearing a random popping sound. I noticed the upper
radiator hose vibrating when the sound occured. I gripped the hose and
felt the jolt every time the sound occured. I also noticed pressure
building and the overflow tank starting to fill and over flow. This
looks like the head leaking and building pressure in the cooling
system. Does anyone know of any other possibilities?

Thanks,
Kevin

Nope, the good news is it's really not that big of a job, a couple new
gaskets and the rest is all unbolting stuff and rebolting stuff...
