<p>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 combustion chamber.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Sure sounds like a leak from combustion chamber into cooling system from the description. Temperature spikes after pushing out water is a classic symptom, the rapid pressurization is a classic symptom.<br>
