    My hose had busted then i replaced it, took the cap off the radiator and was filling it, and I let it run for about 20 minutes after I capped it, and then the temp was past full so I took it to the shop, they told me head gaskets but I called morad, Its about time for a new one anyway, I want to cam it and all didnt want to do it on a 166K motor

    So you're pulling out a perfectly good motor? Might as well fix the LIM gaskets on it and sell it. Just because the temp was high doesn't mean its a HG. It means you need to bleed the system, then again, and then yet again. You have air trapped in the system which is causing the temp to spike.

    Unless they confirmed this with a cylinder compression and leakdown test then I would say its not a HG.
