Re: possible head crack :(

That's fine, but have the head checked by a reputable machine shop. Have
it pressure tested, as my car had the same symptoms/problems, and it
turned out there was a pinhole in exhaust port #4 which went through to
a cooling jacket, which in turned sucked a shitload of coolant into the
motor. Food for thought. Peace,
