Ok I have a 2g 97 gst and when I bought it one day I was replacing the thermostat sensors and once I put everything back started the car I noticed steam came out of the manifold but later found out it was kind of like water but it would evaporate quick it was cracked just a little.
I didn’t think much of it since I thought it was just heat that cracked it so id plan to just get it welded up and done.
once it was welded up I replaced my radiator fans and I had also replaced my radiator cap with a autozone one that’s square and has like a red lock fast forward a little and one day while driving the car so much pressure builds up and the big front radiator hose comes loose.
now the car has a mishimoto radiator cap hold 18lbs of pressure and it builds pressure tons of it so I have 2 questions (1 is my head gasket gone or could it just be the radiator cap and also my coolant hoses are in pretty bad shape (2 was the car sold to me with a blown head also when I got the car the guy put distilled water in the coolant jug but I didn’t think much of it.
