2000 3.4L w/110,000 Miles, coolant leaks?

[WhiteV6]

Head gasket is blown and the pressure is building up in the cooling system from the combustion process.

There must be blockage in the coolant pathways in the engine.
The engine idled roughly for about 3 minutes then it was running smooth.

Water was dripping out of the tailpipe within 4 minutes.

Turned the engine off (let it cool for a bit) started looking for leaks on the rear head at the head & intake gaskets no leaks. Ran my hand over these areas, everything was dry.
Looks like its time to remove the intake for further inspection, ARRRRG !!
Sounds like I'm on the way to a Valve Job, Head Gaskets, Intake Gaskets.
Let the fun begin,

Thanks for your help,

Good luck and get the new lower intake gaskets from fel-pro...i installed them onto a 3400 and they worked great..
