Default Re: running hot

Water entering the combustion chamber can give a sound like pinging - another indicator of a bad head gasket. Have you done a compression test? Are you getting excessive water vapour out of the exhaust? How long has it been since you re torqued the head?
I'm leaning towards a blown head gasket. Do you have a spare? Do you have a torque wrench?
Sorry for so many questions but the more we know, the better the advice.
