Need Help!!
 
I had to revise this because it was more than likely not enough information before.

Problem: My rad keeps boiling out ALL my fluid, well I would suspect that if I let it get that far that it would actually boil it all out. Anyways, I filled up the rad, it was half down, and it drives fine, no overheating, however there is still steam, and boiling going on under the hood, the release cap for my radiator is usually lightly steaming, and my overfill bottle, that has the overfill tube on it, keeps spilling out that tube, because the other thing is full...yet it never takes any back into the rad! I suspect that if I let the rad get low, then again, it will overheat, but that is kind of a no brainer.

Fixes: So far the only thing that I did was replace the thermostat, just to make sure that it wasn't that...$12 CAD later, it was installed with rubber O-ring and all. I topped up my rad, that keeps it from overheating, but it still is boiling out coolant...so I will probably have to fill it up, or top it up rather....every day or so.

The first time this happened, I stopped, on the side of the road, and someone stopped. Just so happens that he work'd at a local mechanics shop, and offered a suggestion for the problem. He said it could be a blown head gasket....DEAR GOD NOT THE DREADED BHG!!!!!! I hope it isn't, but if it is, I'm going to do it right, and get it shaved down 1.5MM, and get a MHG.

Hopefully this gives a better idea on whats going on. Please do post, any idea is better than no idea!

Get a garage to do an exhaust gas test on the radiator. If a cylinder's blowing out into the water it'll show it.

**update**
 
Well here are my new symptoms.....**holds head in dissapointment**:

Well, lets start with loss of power, then move on to boiling coolant...finish off with.....WHITE SMOKE OUT OF THE TAILPIPE!!!!

Oh well we all know what this is....no one has to post....I am so sad:(.

Oh well at least there is a recent post of someone that did a full shave, and MHG with ARP head studs....should cost me under $1,000 CND.
