hello water coming out of over flow on water bottle when i give her big licks ,but not when i take it easy ,new water pump ,bottle and cap she doesnt over heat ,head gasket going bummer lol .

I thought that was normal... Overflow? Dont you mean the return pipe

Head gaskets need to be OEM, and the correct thickness for your particular engine. The gaskets have oval cutouts to identify the correct one.

Very rare for these to fail, so worth having a 4 gas sniffer test for gases at the top of the coolant expansion tank.

If gases are getting into the coolant, I would suspect a cracked head.

i had this for ages bud... water boiling ****ing everywhere... turned out to be a lose oil cap where the oil filter goes... puzzled me for months!!!

check you aint leaking oil
