95 ls exausting from the radiator!

i have never seen this before, i thought the head gasket got blown but theres no water in the oil. the car has no power at all, but it will start. sounds like crap and you can hear the coolant over flow gurgling when you open the hood , as soon as you oper the radiator cap the exaust fumes come out of it . its like the rdiator is the new tail pipe! obviously a complete rebuild is in order, but still its one of the strangest things i have seen a car do yet!

Head gaskets can blow or a cracked in head can cause exhuast gas in the coolant. It sounds like you have a bad case of one or the other.
And they May or may not put coolant in the oil.
If you are going to fix it. Remove the heads and have a machine shop check out the heads for cracks and flatness and check the valves to.
Also use new head bolts to put it back together.
Good Luck MT

Well if you knowed all of that I would have not wasted my time of telling you.
But Well it is not stange at all.
A bad head gasket does not say you have to have coolant in the oil.
Not all do and not all will. It depends on how it is blowed or blows.
