took out the thermostat,put the plugs back In,and drove it about 3 miles,now It feels like It's running on 3 cylinders at a stop sign,but clears up when I take off,got back home,and the coolant Is gurgling Into the overflow tank

Are you sure the fan is kicking on?

Okay, I over heated my 87 daytona a few times and the problem never was a head gasket. In fact I never did have to do a head gasket in that car even after really overheating it a few times. Turns out the problem was a plugged heater core. For some reason on these cars, once the heater core plugs, the motor overheats. More so it's noticeable because the temp gauge swings back and forth a lot, where when the cooling system is functioning properly the needle doesn't move once you get up to operating temp. Not wanting to have to change the heater core, I gave the entire cooling system a good flush, then spent some time flushing the heater core. Then refilled the entire cooling system with distilled water/coolant, blurped the cooling system and guess what? No more overheating. All the head gasket changes in the world wouldn't have fixed that problem for me.

I'm trailering It to a repair shop tomorrow,and see what happens,i'm tired of messing with It.

took It to 3 different places,and all said,the motor was shot,and not worth even an engine swap,so i took it to the crusher,and bought this

You don,t fool around!
