my experience is that when a head gasket goes, it can leak exhaust into the cooling passage. Then the coolant system gets air in it and you don't have coolant near the thermostat. Once the air bleeds out, over hot coolant hits the thermostat and you see the gauge go high. Also, with that much pressure in the coolant system, you start blowing the weekest links. I lost a bunch of the hoses. Easiest way to check is to pull the plugs and pressurize the coolant tank. Listen for leaks in the cylinders. Or pay for a leak down test to be sure. Once the hole gets started it only gets worse. Towards the end, the coolant would push out of the expansion tank every few hundred miles and I'd have to top it up. Figure out if it's the HG, if so it's not a bad DIY job to save lots of money on.
