Pipes were verified clear and the car has been run without thermostat. One member suggested a leaking head gasket. He says that on his Ford Bronco, he had a similar problem and it turned out ot be a very small leak where the combustion chamber was heating the water jacket in the head. We were also thinking backward head gasket(s). He's pulling the heads just to check it all since we're running out of options.
