Best Answer

Remove the cylinder heads, replace the gaskets, and reassemble. (grossly simplified)

There's not really a good way to fix it otherwise.

There is a great temporary fix that you can purchase at any auto store called BARS SEALER. Just pour directly into you radiator, but follow directions exactly!

You are throwing good money after bad if you don't get the head checked. If it is warped, the new gasket will blow. Most machine shops can mill the head flat. That is really important. When you re-install, use new head bolts and torque them in the recommended pattern. Some heads require re-torquing after a number of running hours.
