did you overheat it? sounds like the typical blown head gasket. get yourself the bentley and pull both heads off and check for cracks, pits etc and put new head gaskets on. this of course, can be a major pain but its inevitable sooner or later. most people replace leaky head gaskets when they start to weep, so as not to overheat the engine and hause head warpage or other internal problems. chrkis
