Y-Guys Help!   New engine in my F100 for 5-600 miles temp around 180/190.

               The last few days it would run normal and then start heating up.

                I've had to add water several times. Yesterday I put in a 160 thermostat

                that I had drilled 2, 3/16 holes, drove 4-5 miles ,with the a/c on,

                 and I thought I had cured the problem, then it started heating up

                 from 170 to 210 within a mile. Water bubbling out overflow tank.

                    This a.m. I added 1/2 gallon water, drove 5-6 miles to work,

                temp never got above 170, but when I stopped ,at work, with engine

                idling, it's puking water out the overflow tank, temp still on 170....

                         How to determine if it's a head gasket, and which side?

                All suggestions appreciated...Columbus is getting close....

                                                 Bill
