Thanks Tony,
It's a GT6.
I understand and agree with you.

Subject: Re: [Fot] Coolant conundrum
You don't say what kind of car. I had a similar issue in my TR-4, changed =
head gasket 3 times and then discovered I had a crack in the head in the co=
mbustion chamber.
Sure sounds like a leak from combustion chamber into cooling system from th=
e description. Temperature spikes after pushing out water is a classic sym=
ptom, the rapid pressurization is a classic symptom.

Brand new short block, same old head, water pump, and radiator.
Over three trials, the engine will run fine and warm up with radiator hoses=
and radiator warming properly. Then the hoses and radiator will cool and c=
oolant temp will spike to 230+. Radiator cold with sky high coolant temps.
Two more clues, hoses seem to pressurize very quickly and when I opened the=
radiator cap this morning (after cooling all night) pressurized air and co=

No thermostat and I have confirmed three times that system is completely fu=

Seems I have combustion gases getting into coolant and then bubbles eventua=
lly removing pump prime.
Don't know what else it could be.
Given the apparent direction of the leak, is there any use in trying some "=
stop leak" product?
Is it time to pull the head again to look for warping or gasket leak?
I suppose it could be a cracked cylinder, but this block has been checked b=
y two different trusted engine machinists.
Desperately trying to get to the RunOffs, Anthony.
