i defo need my head gasket changing so i have bought a head gasket set, if i run the car for 10 mins the tmep goes to 100 and if i open the water it will boil over so its overheating big time. i have a headgasket set new oil engine flush and a new oil filter to be put on soon.

but my question is what else should i check and possibly change???? thermostat? oil pump? water pump? anything else other than them?

cheers
