another way to tell is look for a really clean spark plug , if you have a small head gasket leak it ill steam clean the plug


Forgot to mention I have changed that to. Oh and I did change the sending unit also. Both show the same temp readings. Pulled the belt off and spun the water pump. Didn't notice anything. Ever heard of a water pump going bad and not leaking? No water in oil and no oil in water.

Didn't think about the spark plug being steam cleaned. I have already trashed the old ones, Oh well. I may pull the new ones I just put in and see if there is a difference, thanks jonszr1.

I'm with ya biggrizzly about the more testing. Nothing points to the head gasket yet so before pulling the heads I need to make sure thats the problem. Thanks

Thanks BillH, it will be a part of my troubleshooting excersize. May take some time to find the actual cause. I think I may get my local mech. involved. He's pretty good. I'm just a shade tree.

Kinda aggrevating but it aint completly broke down yet. When the temp is elevated it seems like the water is not circulating. Thats got me stumpped. I want to find it and fix it before more damage is done. Thanks for the input.
