yea ill be coming through columbia on sunday, ill stop by. Exactly how much is the hose expanding? Like i said, i had this problem last year and it turned out to be my radiator cap. If you can, do a cylinder leakdown test, its a lot more accurate then a compression test.

the one i have is up in clemson. if you go to autozone i THINK they will rent them out to you. just put down a payment and youll get it back when you return the tool. call the local parts stores, they should be able to hook you up.
