Default No Heat

I posted earlier, but I had about 15 problems in my post...
I just flushed my radiador, but soon as I put the new coolant in I watched it turn shit brown... even after i ran some water threw it... it took about 8/10th of a gallon. My oil cap dosnt have milk on the bottem of it and nothing looks wrong there... so im pretty lost. Every once in a while now it goes up, but if I give it gas it goes up a little more then goes down with the rev. Thermistat? I can't think of anything. I also noticed like when I turn the car off I can hear the water boiling like. I don't believe it's leaking. No puddles. Help!

If it turned brown, that leads me to believe that there is oil mixing with your coolant...sounds like a headgasket.

I'm guessin its the intake manifold gasket or the head gasket, a while ago i thought my intake manifold gasket was leaking but i wasnt quiet sure and i never investigated it any further. But since the coolant is turning brown as soon as i put it in im pretty sure that would be a head gasket. Also i changed my thermostat and there was a oil like substance just sittin by where the top hoes goes into the engine. Also when i goto high rpms, i can smell i guess oil burning off... but it dosnt really smoke.

I have to get a clutch put on anyways with a clutch and a head gasket what do u think the cost of the parts and labor would be.
Someone said you just can't buy the headgasket you have to buy a head gasket kit? He said once some bolts are tightened down there no good anymore...? Got me...

Your bolts are fine, as long as they haven't been reused a bunch of times. All you need is the head gasket, it's around 80 bucks from the dealer. Get an OEM gasket. As for labor, I don't know how much it would be.
