oil mixed with coolant = milky way.

Car run will run like crap. it will want to cut out.

No power etc etc.

Time for heads and intake, cam upgrade buddy. Use this opportunity to do some work on your car.

such as replacing old water pump, timing chain, belt, deleting smog stuff. installing headers, new engine mounts, cam install(if you have not done it), roller rockers etc etc...

I am doing the same thing but my head gasket didn't blew. I wish i had the excuse so my girlfriend feels sorry for me and pays for some parts...

How is the car running? you have to describe a little so we know...

Well it sputters, overheats, the radiotor smells like the oil fill, when its hot the engine struggles 2 turn, and the oil looks like a melted caramel milkshake.

Yeah man. i think it's blown man. if your oil looks like that. and specially sputters and not turning.

Go get new gaskets and have fun man.

I did get a engine gasket kit already. Im ready to tear it down. Just dont want if I dont have 2 lol. I think Ima change the waterpump though, since the car will be down and coolant will have 2 be taken out.

deffinatly blew a head gasket into the water jacket not good! pull the engine have to get the water out of the engine or the whole thing will be screwed any rust on the main journals or rod journals from water it will scar the bearings and the engine is junk!

I concur with everybody that your head gasket = toast. I also strongly suggest that you try to figure out why it blew in the first place so it does not keep happening. I was blowing headgaskets like crazy and even blew up a forged piston, because I was accidently setting the base timing at 14 degrees instead of 10. God I'm an idiot...
