Back to your problem... Up until the steam started spewing, everything was
ok I assume? Like Clint said, the thermostat would be one of the first
things to check. Another cheap check is the rad cap. If it's no good it
won't keep the cooling system pressurized.
Are using a clutch fan? If yes you may want to make sure the clutch is
still good. The clutch on my Elky lasted about 4 months (hence the switch
to electric fans).
Last, I'd check the water pump. If you have a stock type pump it's possible
the impeller is slipping on the shaft.

Thanks Clint,
I guess the thermotat is an inexpensive place to start.What other areas
could cause the same problem?I guess i am looking for a cooling system
diagnostic checklist.It is a long walk to the parts store and 85 degrees
only want to do it once.
