A blown head gasket could cause an engine to overheat, just like a bad thermostat in an Impala. One difference is the head gasket will probable leak coolant, either in the cylinders or in the oil.
About $12.00 including the rubber gasket.
If you do it yourself, it's a 15 minute job and a thermostat and gasket won't run more than $10.
Head Gasket failure or intake gasket Dexcool is the culprit, had to replace mine.
They have problems with yhe intake manifold gaskets. Felpro has a improved set that do not leak.
