Overheating due to lack of coolant shouldn't cause pressure that high.

Hello Everybody:
Just to give closure to the case.
I forgot to mention that I had thrown away the thermostat some time back.
The oil was clean at the disptick and the oil cap. No signs of water or rust.
Had the car at the mechanic while the Hurricane was coming through
Florida.
When I got the car back I didn't had the chance to see the Intake gaskets. I only saw one of the head gaskets. Had signs of water leakage.
Since then I have drove the car for several days and the needle fluctuates between 1/4 and 3/8ths of the gauge.
Good luck to everyone else
Allan
