    man that's annoying, I would suggest pressure checking the cooling system. if the system holds pressure you can look for other causes, but if you lose pressure, especially if you lose pressure very slowly, it may be an indication of a leak, possibly an internal leak, maybe even a cracked block (I hope not though!) I think you can rent the kit to do a pressure test at autozone , etc or you can check with Harbor freight. they usually have that kind of stuff

    Doing the gaskets on a 3100 is an accomplishment. At this point we know you can swear like the best of them and !!!! was your most used saying.

    Likely you are having a head gasket issue. These motors are known for heads/gaskets being an issue. Especially if it's been overheated.
