Re: water boiling in radiator bottle 700 89

This sounds a lot like a blown head gasket. A compression test or analysis of dissolved gases in the coolant is in order. To some people this is the death knell for a car. To others it means a busy weekend with wrenches (not wenches) but only $50 for a gasket and maybe more for the motor mounts, o-rings, pipes and sundry things you find when you are in there. At worst $300 for a re-built head. No way would I retire a good Brick for a little thing like a blown head gasket. And the cars run like new with a rebuilt head, I think.
