It went all the way to the H mark on the gauge within those 5 miles and it hasn't been on all day. then i went to hudson bridge and it wouldn't start.. then i thought it might be the spark plugs so i pulled them out.. there was oil on them.. NOT GOOD. then i bought some more and replaced them with new ones. It started right up. then i drove about 5-8 miles then it did it again. So i cleaned them of and tried it again.. NOTHING.. so i need some opinions on it.. THANKS..
If a radiator is "smoking" there's more issues then anyone but QD and his gang of ghostbusters can solve.

...Now if there is steam coming out it's a different issue that may be some what mortal. An aluminum engine on "H" is gonna be jacked, 99.9% guarantee you that at least the head and probably the block is warped.

Remember head gaskets don't blow for ****s & giggles, especially on an N/A engine unless there is extreme pressure inside. the head gasket did not cause any of your problems, it was a result of prior issues...people always say "my head gasket blew and it did this and this and this because of it" ...nooo it blew because it overheated.

I'll add more later!
