My guess is that I need the head redone and not a new engine based on what I've read here in the past. There were no external leaks prior to this happening and everything was fine. I was driving 130 miles round trip and checking fluids daily. It was starting and running great!

When I noticed it was hot, I don't know how long the gauge had been in the red but it was pegged there. I was able to coast downhill while manuevering though traffic to the shoulder and it wasn't acting or sounding bad but I guess that doesn't mean anything.
