Yah, my headgasket had been showing signs of going for a few weeks though, which I think OP said hasn't been happening? My coolant overflow bottle would basically boil after a 20 min drive even at like 40 degrees out if I went into VVL territory at least once or twice, and then one day it went bye bye for good. We took advantage of the situation by port and polishing the head and a three angle valve job, reseating and reshimming etc. and I got the thicker gasket from Greg which may have hurt my power output a little but less likely to blow out
