2002 Dodge Neon car running hot

running a 4 cylinder that hot for that long is almost asking for a cracked head gasket, i would not be surprised that the head itself hasn't cracked. need to do compression test to check for cracked gasket.

ok can u tell me how can i check to see if it's a cracked head

use a compression gauge OR with engine cold remove radiator cap and start engine, rev up a bit, if coolant shoots out of cap opening than definitely have a compression issue most likely gasket

ok thanks i'll try first thing in the morning...is water in the oil alway a sign because i don't have water in the oil r vise versa as far as i know anyway. And what if the water is shooting after the car has been running awhile?

water shooting up after car is warm doesn't count because once engine is warm the coolant will be hot and since you have overheating issue the hot coolant will shoot out..it should not shoot out while cold though. oil / coolant does not always mix together with head gasket issue

Once the car has run hot the water in the reservere begins to boil is that normal....I've had about 5-6 people to come look at it and tell me different things they say it not a gasket because there's no milky looking oil. Some say it's the water pump but it's still hot, some say thermostat but still hot with the thermostat being in and out, there's no leaks in the radiator it's like a year old and i had it check and flush but it still running hot. How about a clogged engine someone told me that today to but i'm afraid to put out more money and it still run hot?

i would check cylinder compression as stated and go from there..yes a clog is possible you can purchase flush kits at auto part store and use it at home with a simple garden hose to flush cooling system.
