Your stuck with used engines. The problem is you will be just throwing money away trying to repair a vehicle that will start breaking down from here on out. Stay away from Hyundai, KIA and Mitsubishi.

A head gasket can be diagnosed by a compression test, and a cooling system pressure test. Get a second opinion before you condemn the engine. If it is indeed the head gasket, use the money you have towards another vehicle. Hope that helps! Jim
