Geezzz... you guys can scare the new guys half to death with this head gasket talk. While I agree that the stated symptoms may point in that direction there are other possible causes. There is a simple and quick way to check for a blown head gasket. Go down to your local Autozone or Kragen and rent a cooling system pressure tester. Hook it up, follow the directions (important) if it holds pressure you don't have a blown head gasket, if the pressure won't hold and there's no puddle of coolant under the car you have either a blown headgasket or a blown IH gasket. Once you've done that we'll talk.
