URGENT HELP NEEDED!!!

My Coolant bottle keeps blowing and my top hose isn't pressurised. I still get the little dribble from the rad overflow hose. I've bled it properly, heat from the vents and water in all the pipes. Level rises and falls when the individual pipes are squeezed.

Is this a blockage or is my water pump up the duff? Or my rad for that matter?

Sorted that out, now I have a rattle somewhere when under load in gear. Doesn't happen when in N. Reset the timing and it goes better, but the rattle is slightly annoying. Only happens in the upper rev range -4k+.

Anyone?

Engine mounts?

They are shagged but I can't get the front on in Oz.. It's an earlier type with the bolts going left to right, not vertical.

I think there is a bearing on the way out- I sound like I've got a supercharger on there with the bearing whine I get! Kinda cool, but I don't want it to blow up next time I'm on the Harbour Bridge or something!
