Loosing coolant

My coolant blows out of my overflow.. so obviously i have air getting into my coolant system. Im going to check to see if my head studs are broke.. also torq them down some more, does anyone have a torq diagram for that. So im hopin my o-rings are not bad, that would suck. Does anyone have any other suggestions??

X2 sounds like a headgasket is over-pressurizing(boiling over) your coolant system

I was going to say if Olee did it , The only way you'll have troubles is if you drove it hard before it warmed up to 190! The only way to tell whats going on is to pull the head! Next time , always make sure its warm before wringing it neck!
