another question regarding the head.. my plan for this car is to drive it around until i get the registration taken care of, then take a few days to pull the head and swap in a new head gasket. how bad is it to drive with a gasket leak? if its just gas into the coolant, not in the cylinders or in the oil..
thanks. Jack

Unfortunatly the head failure is probably more the likely fault than a head gasket. You also indicate that a test indicates exhaust gas in the coolant so a thermostat is not likely to make the car serviceable.
I hope I am wrong though. There are exceptions to what is expected goes without saying.
