Check for a stuck thermostat first. Open the radiator cap when the engine is cold. Start the engine and watch for rapid water movement in the radiator. If you see that then the thermostat is ok. Now watch for bubbles in the water in the radiator. If you see any, that indicates a blown head gasket.You might want to install a back flush kit to flush any rust buildup in the radiator. Auto parts stores have them for a few dollars.
