goddamn truck overheated like hell on my way back home today.. drove it 10 minutes with the temp guage on red.. hot as the guage reads. pullled in the drive and the fill tank was spewing coolant.. Water Pump??

 

oh yeah, truck is a 88' silverado.. with 327,000 original miles on original motor w/ rebuilt trans.

 

No... engine now after you drove it overheated for 10 minutes you ------- idiot.

 

Your headgasket(s) are done. Pump some compressed air into the cylinders to figure out which cylinder head is bad.

 

if headgaskets were bad it would be blowing white smoke out of the exhaust.. which it does a little at startup but not like bad headgasket smoke

 

dumbest post i have ever seen, i hope you have to buy a new motor for your stupidty

 

It's an old *** 305 w/ 327k miles on it.. it need a 350 anyway.. i'm not worried.

 

needs a HG, change the oil, you didn't hurt the 305.

Take a 305, warm it up, drain the coolant, run it for 10 more minutes, change oil and add water back in. How you prep a 305 for a derby car

 

headgasket blowing can blow a cyl to oil, cyl to water, oil to water, or hit all 3 at once. depends where it blows on the gasket

 

Nope wrong. Sometimes, and a lot of times with chevy heads, they will get small cracks that only leak when the engine is at certain temps. Went through a headgasket on my 350 till I figured that one out, and replaced it with a rebuilt head.
