Overheating

Could be a blown headgasket, crack head/block-

Have it block and pressure tested-do the block first to pinpoint a combustion leaking into the cooling system or a gas analyzer to sniff for hydrocarbons at the radiator fill neck.

Pressure test: do not do a pressure test if there's leakage at the headgasket this might cause coolant into the cylinders and lock it up or bend a connecting rod if cranked thereafter. The headgasket should be repaired before doing the pressure test.

If the block and pressure test passes check the following: Fan clutch, Radiator electrical fan, collaspe hoses, water pump.

thank you for your help. What would say about that Barrs head gasket repair liquid?

Never heard of it-I use Thermagasket or Steel Seal it works for me.
