Head Gasket or thermostat?

[Swollkat]

I just wanted to update on what happened to my engine. Apparently when you have oil going into the radiator and reservoir your engine is in bad shape. I ended up having a cracked head and I needed a new engine. Well I ended up with getting a low mileage F23A4, new clutch, axles, parts & labor for around 2200. Big ups to Rick at Smoothlines in El Monte, CA for hooking it up. They swap engines like Goodyear swaps tires.

Sorry for the bad luck. But actually cracking your head happens from overheating your car too long. If you catch it soon enough, you can replace the head gasket and drain/fill your fluids and be fine. Good pick up on the engine though.
