95 Camaro
 
Coolant leaking...don't know from where? No puddle on ground. And...no heat. Ugh.
Have had this issue numerous times.
Please assist.

V-6 or V-8. Does the oil look milky? That would mean a head gasket or possibly intake gasket failure.
Running it that way will mean an engine failure soon.

Thanks...I'll check oil.
happened twice before...I've had 2 used engines in 10 years. Ugh.

Well that sounds bad but if you are putting in engines and not replacing seals and gaskets it is not surprising. On the intake gasket time is the bigger factor then miles. You can have an intake gasket go bad and wipe out a motor and replace it with a used motor only to have that intake gasket fail 6 months later. It would be different if you where putting in 3 year old motors. Any motor you find now is 23 years old. Its should have all the soft parts replaced.

Hi.
I'm going to swap engine.
getting one with 80,000 km.
for $500.00.
less expensive than to fix head gasket issue.

You are installing an engine with a 23 year old engine/head gasket and its been siting without running since the car wrecked and you expect it to last? You will be lucky to get a year out of it and not have a major failure. Heck you could blow out the rear main in a few weeks. Replacing parts on an engine that is out should not be expensive. For 5-$600 you could do oil pan, front and rear main seals, head and intake gaskets and have an engine that is ready to run a 100,000 miles.
