    Cheaper to just put in a new HG.
    Wealth, power, and experience are apparently not enough to save us from social influences. Groupthink, as described by I.L.Janis, is the tendency for group members to reach a consensus opinion, even if that decision is downright stupid (Janis 1982).

    I would still pull the head and check to see how the block and pistons look. See if the deck on the block is warped and see if the pistons have cracks or anything. If they are not you'd be saving yourself a lot of time and labor by just finding a new head. You may not even have to do that if the head didn't warp or crack.

    Why? Should have pulled over as soon as you detected something was wrong.

    Im pretty sure it was blown before all this stuff bur just not that badly I guess, and i did pull over about 8 times on the way home but i guess the car just had enough. Seems like no matter how much water I put in the radiator it still wanted to drink it all up :P
