If revving the motor shoots coolant out the neck, it's a head gasket?
Really?  |
After the pressure of the cooling system is released there should be no more gushing of coolant. If a head gasket is blown and letting combustion gas into the coolant then you will get a fountain effect. The fountain may not be there at idle (prob will be though from the # of cars I have seen), but rev'n it will make it known.
But...
Sounds to me like the water pump impeller is gone. I don't work on cars anymore, so it's just a thought.
