    I would put another headgasket vs a bandaid fix that would damage the water pump and cooling system

    Theres a user here that used a product to seal it, I'm just too lazy to do a search for it. I'll let someone hand feed it to this thread.

    Or replace the engine with a salvaged engine? Is that the preferred route, for cost, generally?
