I'm steaming (well my camper is anyway). I have about
2000 miles on a remanufactured engine (AVP) and it
seems to be running fine.  It has new heads. The engine
runs cool and has the same amout of power as my old engine
before it needed to be replaced.  After I exited the
highway this morning and came to a light I saw steam
coming up from the back of the camper. I pulled over and
shut off the engine. Looked behind the license plate
and saw that my coolant overflow container was
overflowing.  Last I checked (when it was cold)
the level was at the bottom of the overflow container.
Anyone know what's happening here? Should I be
panicking?  I thought I remembered reading years
ago on the list that this could be a sign of a cracked
head?

Thanks in advance for any (good) news!
