yeah thats what i was thinking but its a constant bubbling with engine. im thinking maybe a crack or warpage. but i have never let it overheat and its is always at 195 warm.

I would probably check to see if the spark plug is tight. It could be loose. I knew a noob one time that did that, but his car was EXTREMLY slow. He worked at my work. Just check that, and if that doesnt work, then just swap in a V6.

Heads and Head gaskets (from my understanding) are very commong things to go wrong on our cars. Do a pressure test on the rad. and a compression test on the block.
