Default headgasket?

my friends car (93 da ls) has been getting kinda hot. i tried to bleed the air out of the coolant system, but i can't get it all out. with the cap off it gushes water about every 15-20 seconds... co-worker at work said it could be a head gasket. any sugestions??

what do you mean kindda hot?if you mean it just gets alittle warmer then half check your fan temp sensor maybe its just old and not coming on sooner..try wireing the fan up to stay on drive around normal and see if it still gets hot

i know what he is saying , but why would there be lots of air in the system? blown headgasket would inject air into the cooling system... right?
