I am having a issue with my 85 T3. I got it put back together and when i fired it up within 15 seconds coolant is coming out of the over flow line at the top of the radiator. tried two rad's and two caps and it still does the same thing. Does anyone have any ideas what is going on here?

BAD HEAd gasket the engine is pressurizing your cooling system and forcing the antifreeze out

Hmm, interesting. I knew that could be a possability but I wasn't sure of it since all the gaskets are brand new. I guess I will pull the head and see whats up.

pull the head and use gasket shellac on the gasket and head and cylinder surfaces. put it all together, torque it down, let the shellac dry and you will NEVER blow a headgasket.
