Headgasket is bad, remachine heads(half the engine needs to be rebuilt), valve job, cooling hose to transmission, differential mounts are flat, coolant leak, oil leak and some other things that are involved with all that listed crap.

I just thought I had a coolant leak!!!!


FYI - I got back stage passes to tonights Slayer concert, so I will be there, and I won't be able to respond to anything 'till tomorrow.

so pretty much you have a blown head gasket. Which runs typically around $1200-1500. That includes the head gasket job, valve job and the machining of the head as well.
