Typical symptoms of a blown headgasket MAY include: -bubbles of air coming up into your radiator (remove cap before starting) -leaking radiator -milkshake colored oil -overheating -rough running -coolant or oil running from head -spark plug(s) that have a green tint (if green coolant). -white colored or sweet smelling exhaust. I emphasize "may" include one or more of these symptoms. If your thermostat and fan are working properly and you are not low on coolant, but you are overheating, then the mechanic was probably right.
