Could be your head gasket. Test your system to make sure combustion gasses aren't getting in the coolant.

Anyone have a god source for the factory clamps? Mine have all been replaced with hose clamps.
Going to call Davey's now and see if they have some.

P.S. took me five attempts to get my water neck/thermostat housing sealed. Trick was tightening the bolts down to about an 1/8" by hand and letting the RTV cure... should have waited 24...but then I torqued the bolts at 13 hrs am no leak...that was just RTV at that point...was all out of gaskets.
PPS Davey's had a set for $32 shipped and I snagged a hood prop catch for $5.

Ahhh, I just finshed a bowl of Raisin Bran. I go through about a box a week. Now I know I’m not set for life on gasket material…

I've read that they have on occasion collapsed, and that you're not getting anything for that risk. I took the advice to just get normal hoses and not overthink it. But that's just my opinion from experience and reading here.
