Before I tear Lillibeth's head off I suppose I should check with the ol forums.
1. Recently on a trip to Neah bay my temp gauge shot up to 250 and stayed there. I confirmed it with my temp gun.
2. I've flushed the cooling system, thermostat is working fine, pump is new, 6 blade fan installed (sheesh that takes some tweaking), radiator is about a year old (super cool) I'm convinced the cooling system is doing all it can.
3. compression seems good in all cyl, the plug in the #1 cyl looked white, very hot looking. No foamy oil, no coolant loss.
Am I wrong in thinking this has to be a head gasket? It's just I've not seen a head gasket fail without other symptoms.
Any ideas?
Thanks, sorry I won't be in Portland I've got to tear a head off.
Cheers in advance though, have a tech session for me.
