I've done a head gasket test with my kit and all comes back negative. (no change in fluid color at all)noticed the the radiator wasnt even getting warm so swap the water pump, rad cap, and t-stat. now i can feel the upper hose compress when i rev the engine, so i would say its flowing now. but the radiator is still cold and temp gauage is still going high. I then thought of air trapped in the system and loosened the temp switch to bleed the air out. no change. Looking at the coolant that came out the first time it seemed to have small specks of metal floating around in it. my guess is one of those "mechanic in a bottle" headgasket repair deals. so through a radiator at it so see if it was stopped up and still no change.running out of idea's. if i have to pulled the heads to see if the previous owner install the headgasket upside down i will not be putting everthing back in the car because of the condition of the body.thanks in advance</blockquote>
