Hi my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will be assisting you today. The system will offer a phone call but please disregard. So to start with has a combustion gas block test been done on the vehicle?

Sounds like the [head gaskets](/topics-head-gasket-chevy/) could be blown or warped cylinder heads from being over heated.

That's what I thought. I notice there's bubbles in the coolant even when you first start it but the coolant never really sucks down in the engine
Automotive Expert
Yeah sounds like combustion gases are pushing into the cooling system.

How do I cancel this
