[s-cars] Got some more good news and now I'm confused

[Dave Forgie]

That's good news!!  With the head off and tested, you now can have full

confidence that things are good there and after you've added a new
steel 
head gasket and do the Timing belt, water pump, etc. you are good for 
many many miles (e.g. 60000).

There are lots of little places where coolant can leak besides at the
head
 gasket.  Afterrun pump (cracks), thermostat housing (cracks),
T-fitting at
 the back of the head (cracks), hoses (obviously)... I don't know if
you 
can track them down without actually getting the engine back together 
and running fresh coolant and looking for leaks (UV light ?).

Glad to see you won't have to part it out and you are going to end up
with
 a great car.

Just a little more pain to get through first, unfortunately.
