Here's the situation...
Radiator was leaking, took the car in for a new one. Also had the valve cover replaced, as it was leaking also. The car was not overheating when I took it in, just leaking. Mechanic gave me the car back, as soon as it got up to temp, it kept going and started to overheat. I thought it could be the Cat Converter, which may have caused the leaks in the first place. Took the car back, he cleaned out the Cat, replaced the plugs and oil. Car runs great until it gets up to temp then begins to overheat again. What could this be? I'm hoping its the thermo or the water pump? What are the signs of head problems? PLEASE HELP!
