[QUOTE="wc9922, post: 355791, member: 6000"] Mike, This is definately the cylinder head gasket starting to go. It has started leaking between cylinder 5 & 6. Your top radiator hose must be rock hard right now at normal temperature and at idle water will pour out of the radiator cap no matter how tight you screw it in, and temperature shoots to red. So I suggest you better get a top overhaul done as soon as possible as not to incurr more damage by warping or worse forming cracks on your cylinder head due to the overheating. Also heli-coil all the head studs, else you will strip the bolts holes in the block when you bolt it back up. [/QUOTE]
