You'll need to compression test it Dahmich... You can also drain the sump and see if its full of coolant as well as another indication. Sounds like a head gasket though, but as I said, do a compression check. If you have a leak, it wont hold compression on one or two cylinders. |

i spent a lot of time delibrating, the money ive already put into it (and not going to see back) the time and effort to get this car how I want it just isnt viable sorry guys....its going to the great scrapyard in the sky... for your info...it was cyclinder number 3 that died and yep, complete head gasket fail, all the water had emptied itself into the engine, dumped the oil and had a beautifull mix of the two with my funds as they are, i have to cut my losses where they stand, and try and recoup something back...parts availible will be listed soon, this decision hasnt been made on a whim, its the best option, as much as i dont like it....
