Does it sound like there's a waterfall in the dash sometimes? Any smoke from the exhaust?

no smoke and no water inside, i think maybe the hose that goes back to the radiator is bad, right now i dont have a jack so i cant really see where the leak is from but its around that area

Would a clog radiator cause this? And i dont think its a bhg, theres no coolant in oil and vise versa. And its a 2 hks metal head gasket torque to bout 80

Your top radiator hose should be pressurized. Do you know roughly where the leak is at? There are a bunch of reasons as to why it would overheat need more info


whats with the waterfall thing CRE? Mine does that from time to time granted I am fairly sure its the hose I had to re route from the passenger side to the driver side

Cooling system is pressurized...

Find the leak. This includes doing a test to check for exhaust gasses in the coolant.

Air... either from a leak or from dumping combustion chamber gasses into the cooling system.
