Ed, when I got home, the "I" light didn't come on. I check the valley and there was no coolant in it. The bubbling in the area of the valley wasn't there as it wasn't overheating by the time i got home. However, it did look as though, at some point in time there were water trails coming down from the heads. I'm thinking blown head gasket. The bubbling sound in the valley area seemed to be about midway back.
One thing I did notice is that the electric fan didn't kick on at all, although it does work as I had it jumped before the cam gear job. The sensor for the fan, located lower radiator, drivers side is new. Is it possible to have this connected backwards? could there be a bad relay for the fan?

That aside, IMHO, the engine overheated much too quickly for the fan not operating, to be the cause.
6mil, not going nuclear, just feeling really dejected.
Themostat is new also......
