Took her our again today. Had the AC on for a while (smelled like coolant) but had to shut it down when my charge light suddenly came on. When the cooling fan was off, the coolant began boiling out violently when I finally got home.

There's no blockage and no air bubble. Thinking it's the headgasket. I've got many of the symptoms. It sounds as if it's more a more likely.

Car had a very hard time starting this AM, and another inch of coolant was lost overnight from a col engine. No puddle this AM.

I'm resigning myself to the head gasket replacement. There's a good tutorial at MVS, but it contains a lot of crazy stuff - especially with the Cams - using boards to bolt up the camshafts. I could see such a repair taking days and being very easy to screw up.

I'm not at all encouraged by all this...
