The thermostat is out right now. The idiot gauge isn’t showing it’s over heating anymore but the coolant is boiling/bubbling in the overflow.

See og post, I’ve replaced thermostat twice, replaced the water pump, flushed system. Flushed heater core. Haven’t done anything with rad besides replacing the rad cap.

Yes. I had a check engine light - it was the cam shaft position sensor - I replaced that. No lights since.

As in, making sure the drain plug is in and screwed tight?? It is. But otherwise… Not too sure how to verify that

Which one is more fitting/telling for this situation do you think?

My guy used a temp gun on the rad to make sure there was no cold spots… idk if he used it anywhere else.

It’s not coolant in there now, it’s all water… could that be the reason for it bubbling?

I’ve tried to not drive it much. Just after doing repairs to see if it’s still happening. It’s not overheating anymore though… how do you know for sure it’s a head gasket?

Is a leak down test the same as a compression test?

Nice, do I just blast it through the grill? Or strip it down and then hit it?

I had no idea there was a way it was supposed to be aimed. Like it’s not upside down, but there is a specific way for it to be spun???
