Hello


So one day i drove 45miles overheating.....bad...but did not know as my temp gauge was reading normal, that sucked.

the cause was a hole in one of the heater core hoses from the block area to the firewall.

when we got to my family's house my wife was adding water to the coolent bottle while i was inside going to the bathroom and the said it was making very angry sounds.....duh

so we towed it home and i repaired the hose.

next day while driving it up a mountain it overheated again and did more throughout the day till i got home.....of course i let it cool down and added water and went on .

So i tried the block sealant stuff with no luck.....still getting very very high pressure and bubbles from the thermostat hose to coolant bottle

so my ? is what are the chances the head got warpped???? everyone is warning me not to change the head gasket cuz i will just waste time and $$.

my 850 wagon is turbo and is not blowing any smoke out the back but has water in the oil....

do you think she'll be ok or is she doomed for the dump.

Thanks
