Comments: To: DrocerNod@aol.com

Don;
There are two possible sources of cooling system pressurization. One from
exhaust gases and another from overheating. A trip to your friendly
mechanic(as I did) who can use his exhaust gas analyzer to sniff the
overflow tank for hydrocarbons.
Our 85's problem turned out to be a plugged radiator and not head
problems.
Drive Safely & Good Luck
