I am really depressed now. I took my time, was very careful and I am starting to wonder if the previous owner had these same issues , hence getting rid of her so cheaply.I have a couple of questions and then I might try to get his other engine.Could this steaming be something other than a blown head gasket? For instance a water pump issue or maybe a bad thermostat. I am finding it hard to believe that since I just changed the gasket,  if that is the culprit, how fast it blew again. If someone can come up with a process of elimination to figure out what the heck is going on, i would really appreciate it.I really don't want to give up. I can't but this is nuts!! I have not checked the radiator but it was boiling over , even with the cap on.Here's some more info. She idled for about 5 min and temp gauge was good but its interesting that this time I warmed her up more than yesterday and then it started steaming.</blockquote>
