As suspected I have blown the head gasket between the water channel and the compression chamber.
That is why the cooling system is pressurizing,
I have not blown the gasket between the water channel and a oil line , as Id have water in oil
which I dont.

Did you get the head off John?
If it's only the gasket you should be able to get away with getting the head re surfaced and new head bolts.. Where did you end up taking it?

Sound like it can only be one of two things.
Radiator cap kaput or maybe wrong pressure rating.
Small leak in head gasket. Have the same trouble at the moment.
The constant overheating bit is troublesome. Water pump.........?

Yo Evil, post #2 I win, do I get a choccy frog?

It's never normally just the head gasket. You can almost guarantee the head will be cracked.
