Default I'm guessing its a bad headgasket

Well i'm going to go with i have a blown headgasket. Got the car running and decided to change the oil again. And low and behold it looked like coffee creamer. Had the head inspected twice before having the second shop installed and yep pretty sure its gone already. I'm going to see if there is write up for it on here. This time i will probably just do it myself atleast it wont be as disappointing lol.

You will need a precision straight edge to be able to check the head properly for flatness/warp. They run around 100 bucks USD for the proper specs. Starrett 380-24 is one of the ones you want.

Yeah i've looked at some on a few different auto store websites. I dropped off one of my spare heads to get checked and tested for cracks. If everything is ok i'm going to have it surfaced and check the block when i take off the other head. If its more than what was quoted 250 then i'm just going to drive to Dallas and pick up a jdm d16 for 550 and swap it all out.
