5kTQ overheating - need help

[Steve Sears]

To Mike, Jim, Tex et al,
Many thanks for your assistance on the overheating thing.  It's helping
hands like yours that make the list so great.
UPDATE:
After flushing some crud out of the rad, the car did run a bit cooler, but
it still blew lots of coolant out of the overflow tank.  After a near
disaster (small overflow hose ruptured in the driveway after a short drive,
managed to reconnect and get coolant flowing before major damage resulted) I
took the car to my mechanic and had them pull the head (as Phil had
suggested long ago for a different matter - in the case of the missing
injector "hat") - #5 cylinder was pressurizing the coolant system through
the head gasket.  Hopefully this will be problem solved and I can get on
with the qlcc modifications....
Cheers!
