I know the classic signs of a bad head gasket, white smoke, antifreeze in the oil, oil in the antifreeze, leaking block, over heating.
I know that but my oil is clear, antifreeze is clear, no leaks, but my engine is getting Hot! not even 5 mins after running i pulled the dip stick and it was burning my hands...whats the issue?
first thing i would check for, thermostat. might be in backwards, or might be defective. the other thing to check for is the water pump. you said you JUST got the car, right?
