[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 1037938, member: 61136"] Todd, is correct about the compression test. A leaking headgasket, will buble into the coolant. Also when you start over heating. Leave the motor running and check that the bottom rad hose, is not colapsed. If collapsed, that can indicate a t-stat restriction or a radiator restriction. Restricted flow will suck the inlet hose flat. That hose should have a wire coil in it. To prevent colapse. Some cheap replacement hoses, do not have the coil. Also, long term water or too much water over coolant. Will rust away the coil, long term. Motor cold cap off you should be able the feel the coil in the full lengt5h of the hose. But bubbling coolant is a sign of compresion into the coolant. And or air getting in somehow. [/QUOTE]
