I'm not sure if this helps but I have a 97 Ford Taurus and thought i had to have mine replaced (ended up being the actual heads) and was going to run me 900 and that was the cheapest estimate i got

If this is a nice car then spend the money and have the blown head gasket repaired before you try to sell it. With a blown head gasket it is only worth what someone will pay. Would you buy a car with a blown head gasket? I sure would not, as there is no way of knowing how much damage has been done. I would not touch this car as it stands now and neither will most people. It is worth very little with the gasket blown.
Yes.
blown head gasket??
This is caused by a blown gasket that allows coolant to escape. Does your engine smoke sometimes when theirs coolant? If yes, then it's definitely a blown gasket.
no it would not
sorry but the price varies
Probably a blown or leaking head gasket.
I just had the timing cover gasket on my 2000 Ford Taurus replaced...Cost of Repair was $513
Possible but not likely.
The 3.8 GM V6 is prone to blown intake gaskets much more than blown head gaskets. The blown intake gasket causes a loss of coolant which in turn causes overheating and a blown head gasket. The problem exists with most 2000 to 2003 vehicles equipped with the 3.8 Liter V6. There were defects in the upper intake manifold gasket, throttle body nuts, and the throttle body gasket.
Either a blown head gasket or a cracked block possibly
Do you mean oil in the coolant? If so, you have a blown head gasket, cracked head, or both.
