gsum to Greg's Auto...more on Heat Up Issue on bimmer

Hi again Greg's Auto... Yes...I've put two new thermos and 2 w-pumps in just to make sure about what's really the heat up issue...Yes, both times the stat was installed correctly...Right now I am running with NO thermostat. The reason for that is been doing total flushing of the Rad-motor...bleeding system and trying to see how it runs...No good...still hot in 1 mile. Will do the old timer's check in the morning...From Cold start up i will check the feed and return hoses to see if they hardin up right away...That usually implies or hints a a bad headgasket...Tonight as I was putting the torch in the garage...I left the rad cap off and started the engine...coolant came to the top level...flowed evenly out the top...NO gush or giser blows...In days of old that is how we first checked to see if headgasket was bad...Right now...does not look that way...But, after all that I've done so far...I can't help but think the gasket is the issue...hmm. Again, oil is clean and void of coolant...Still can't get over the re-rad hose runing soooooo cool when car is at operating temp???? Thanks so much for all your input and help... gsum...gsummers@woh.rr.com

sounds like slight head gasket leak or crack in head to me
