    That bandaid head gasket sealer will cause problems in other areas of the car. I'd recommend you save up for another engine or get rid of the car now. Make sure you don't drive out of town with this car either, it will most likely leave you stranded

    That's not gonna work unless you're just wanting to limp the car to a dealer to trade it in.
