Head Gasket? I have a 93 z m6 117,000 miles. Its an overheater, and i have replaced everything minus the radiator within the cooling system with no results. Yes i bled the air out PROPERLY several times. New radiator cap, new thermo, no rad./coolant leaks, both fans are coming on, all plastics are in place underneath... The only thing i can think of is a headgasket. But theres no milky oil or any signs of a blown head gasket. Just overheating. Im ******* sick of this car and just want to sell it. Am i on the right track? How much would a head gasket cost to have replaced? Fixing it myself is not an option, i do not have the time, tools or knowledge. Thank you in advance

Take it to a good radiator shop. they can test for combustion gasses in the cooling system and tell you if the head gaskets are bad. Don't just replace them because you THINK they are bad. Shotgun troubleshooting is not smart.....

Is the new stuff any better? Talked to a few radiator shops about it and they say drain it out as soon as the warranty expires. Chrysler's HOAT is supposed to be a lot better. I use the regular Prestone.
