Car overheated

[elp89stang]

Well im pretty new, given but i have had various mustangs. Not my problem lies with a 1996 gt. I know that they have the weaker cooling system but here is my story. I was coming home from the gym with a buddie and i didnt notice the fans didnt turn on. It overheated and stalled out on the gateway. It had smoked slightly before while it was idling which i figured was the valve stem seals. Now i have a thing were if i drive it more than 10 minutes when i park it spills all the water in the reservoir tank. I have the fans connected directly to the ignition so the fans turn on when the car turns on, also took out the thermostat cause i thought that was the problem but its not. I took it to a mechanic and told me i might have blown a headgasket, but im not sure the car runs perfectly fine , it pulses alittle once in a while but what do you guys think it is?

You have a blown head gasket.

check your oil. Youll know by doing that.

But yes, you have a blown head gasket. Prepare to open up your wallet

dang it i thought so :sad5:, also on the brighter side i have the ported pi and the intake manifold ready to swap over. Now another thing is that my engine has 183xxx miles so my wonder if it will be able to support the pi's with a engine with that many miles. Any opinions on that?
