can't be headgaskets. The minimal amount of coolant i'm loosing, is from the leak under the TB (trickles), my car idles/drives/runs beautifully, and my exhaust has no smoke....

aaaaand, to my next point.. i never burned coolant out the tailpipe.. and it was not until the VERY END that i started losing coolant... ttop191 can vouch for it running fine, and no smoke.. i lost NO coolant due to the headgasket, the only problem was when the car was off, the gasket was eroded enough, that coolant would seep in, and foul the plugs, it never drew it into the cylinder..

and i had tests, compression was fine, and i also noted that from the increased pressure, when i cranked the engine over (coolant is not compressible, so it resulted in higher compression in that cylinder, and made gases and air seep past when cold
