if you want to stick a drill bit into your cylinder and score up the walls then go ahead...see how long your engine lasts.
you said that there is orange liquid leaking out of the block. i already told you its your coolant (DEX-COOL)
why would it be leaking from the block? bad gasket.
know what that means? rip the engine down to the block and do an overhaul with new gaskets and head bolts....or don't. see how long the engine lasts when its leaking/mixing/burning coolant and oil.
done.

And yes i know.....
Im planning on taking the head off and bringing it to a shop, or worst case i buy a used head from a guy on ecotecforum.com
But one i take the head off and have it machined, then ill change all the gaskets and put in new head bolts.
