head gasket?
I have an 86 toyota pickup with a 22r. it runs hot very quickly at an idle, when you first crank it up it skips for a few seconds, it will also blow out white smoke for a few seconds, and has recently started building up an insane amount of water pressure, enough to blow 2 radiators. it has no oil in water or water in oil but it runs a little rough. There is also a visible spot on the side of the engine were water USE to leak out past the head gasket... my thinking is that the previous owner used some miracle claiming gasket seal because i seen some gold metallic flakes in my radiator.
Am i right in thinking this is a head gasket problem? thanks

While the head if off, have it checked for level at the machine shop. Mine was only running for 1 day when this started and my head was still good.
