lack of compression

oil and coolant mix.

water is hard to compress and not combustible in heavy amounts

coolant/water are awesome for lubricating your rod and main bearings.

You shouldn't be driving it anyways if it is blown.

ive been driving with a blown headgasked for 7 months now and its fucked my motor up pretty bad but still runs

thanks for the info man. i appreciate it.

yup, im from guam! =D nice to meet you too...

thanks. i was using water cause i didnt want to waste money on coolant all the time. i was losing coolant and thought it was my valve stem seal cause my oil wasnt mixing at the time.

i havent driven it for a while. i just put my cams on and noticed the mixture.

Stop driving it. Replace headgasket As soon as you can. Hopefully, you did not warp the head or block.

Did you learn anything?

depends on how bad its blown. Mine was leaking in my F22A6 for a good 4 months, I didn't know what it was at first but eventually I redid everything and it was fine.

Block didn't warp, just the head was slightly warped. It never got as bad as not being able to start the car, just stumbled for about 20-30 sec then cleared itself out. If its that bad, then I would fix it now

i havent drove it for about 3 weeks since my semester for college finished so i believe im good. hope none is warped as well.

will do that.

fellaz. 3 days ago, i checked the oil on my car and it wasnt mixing at all. moved the car out of the garage to the front of the house. i noticed the mixture 3 days later. although, i didnt have any water or coolant in the radiator at all before i moved the car. how did it get into the motor when there was already nothing at the radiator?

well...if you don't see coolant in the radiator doesn't mean you don't have coolant in the engine...coolant also sits around the cylinder walls of the block...right where the head gasket for the head and block meets..if there is any potential for leaking from cylinder to cylinder, it will leak on compression...
changing the head gasket isn't hard...just take your time and learn about the exploded engine pdfs

Thanks Gtseviper.
