What caused the sudden onset of the problem after what was apparently a long history of trouble free operation? He's doing a WOT run through third, which he's done many times with no problem. Only this time the car has a problem.

I'm not sold on the HG either, but I don't see that anything in the cooling system has changed since the previous, problem free runs. The post incident behavior could be related to an air pocket in the block, but that doesn't explain the initial failure. As said before, it's curious.
