    Hey guys,

    Swapped out my thermostat since the temperature would climb, but today I noticed the exhaust is pretty bad, and I've got water dripping out the tailpipe. I took a video of the car getting revved up. it makes some terrible noises when it drops back down in RPMs. Also got a video of it idling. Is this pretty surely a head gasket? Is there a cheap way to check? 

    Idle:

    Revving:

    If it's a head gasket, anybody looking for a project car :)? I don't have the space to try to part it out, and I don't want to junk it.

          I recently blew my head gasket. I speak from experience.

          The big bummer is when the overheating causes a cracked head

            Alrighty then! Any advice on what to do with it? It also has front end damage in the form of fucked up hood and right fender, and there is no nose panel/kidney grill thingies. I'm optimistically guessing junk yard would give me $300?

              They give you scrap price. You could easily sell it for more than $400 still
