Why not just look for a motor from a salvage yard?
could be head gasket but maybe something cracked/warped......

oooh, interesting, I didn't know they had stuff like that
do you think it will last? the pressures are usually pretty high for things like that, I don't know if I would trust it long term
but I hope it works out for you, that would be awesome!

it looks like copper and metal particales and the bottle says it has fibers. so theres a bottle that is 9.99 that you have to flush all the coolant out and run water and this stuff and then once its done flush again and add coolant. the one that i got stays in with the coolant works kinda like fixa flat and its 29 bucks. this stuff has been out for years but it doesnt work on large holes. i hope all that made sense. i figure ill get get at least another year out of it
