May I suggest that if you are going to look in radiator for air bubbles as a
sign of head gasket failure; this procedure works but you need to take belt
off so water pump will not turn. You will only run engine for a few minutes
so overheating because belt is off will not take place.

Not always correct; but never in doubt

Thanks all, for the ( 18 ) quick replies on & off list.
Water Pump &/or Belt seems to be the first to verify. Rust in Block will
be next. A compression test is planned now.
A Cracked Head or Block seem less likely since it showed no water on or
under the engine area, was run at speed several times after the radiator was
fixed & cleaned. The overflow was the source of water
As soon as I can take a ride & help check it out, I will let you know.
AGAIN: THANKS MUCH. This is why the List is so great.
