    Thanks Guys,

    I've been "coached" I'm probably running too much advance, which I am.
    That explains why the car ran so well.

    I pulled the head this morning. It is warped.
    I'll plan to replace the water pump (just in case) and put back together.

    I would say that the rings lost there tension also if it got hot enough to melt the plastic cover. Is the block straight? I would get the head pressure test to make sure it is not cracked.

    I would take a serious look at the radiator and either have it professionally cleaned or just replace it.
