Message	:Ok so my car started to overheat about a week ago and this is where my problem started. Also the car still runs perfect and has the same power as before.....but could I have a blown head gasket....there is no water in the oil..... Im running out of Ideas here,,,please help...thanks I went ~2 years with a (partial) head gasket failure. About 3 times over a two year period, the threaded air vent valve on the top of my Koyo radiator would blow...so I siliconed it down...MISTAKE! I guess, under certain hot & high boost conditions, the gasket would allow pressurized air into the water system and blow the valve. When that was secured, it blew out the side of the head...But at least the mystery was finally solved.
