alright so i have a ca18det that has recetly started to overheat .

The car will idle and then about 5 minutes the temp gauge jump from halfway and creep up past the overheating line . it busted a radiator hose so i changed the hose the car overheated 5 mins again.

the thermostat was removed before i owned the engine and kept it that way.

i have a gt28 turbo , stock injectors , godspeed raidiator ,

i had to drive the car home as the temp gauge pinged.

do you think its possibly blown headgasket.

i am going to be doing a compression test and then a leakdown test .

Anyones input will be great.

thanks
