Head gasket fixes rarely work unless the block and head are
resurfaced. That makes it a big job. Cracks almost always cause loss
of coolant and overheating.

Hey, while we're on the subject of cars, I have a '95 Chevy
Cavalier that I absolutely hate but still kinda need. It recently
lost compression in two cylinders, according to the mechanic (who
also said it probably wasn't worth repairing). Do you wise auto
gurus think it could be just a blown head gasket, or something worse?
Adjacent cylinders? Could be a cracked head. If you're somewhat
handy, you might pull the head and have a look.
You'd have to remove it anyway to replace the head gasket, and if
it's cracked find a replacement head in a junkyard.
