so i will begin telling the story i was driving yesterday mustang was totally fine half way to where i was going check engine light was blinking so i went to my old high school auto shop ran scanner says nothings wrong tthen i start it up little bit of water coming out duals didnt think anything of it so i go pick up my friend take him to a destination and soon as we get off the freeway the car instantly goess from normal operating temp to overheating. i then pull over let it cool down whatever. get back on the freeway then hit traffic start to slow down and starts running hot again so we pull off into a parking lot pop the hood and car was at the L of the temp gauge and fan was not working so i was like ok thats why its overheating so i take this side road to avoid traffic. and start running hot i shut it down but right when shutting down i notice cars running extremely rough and smoke coming out the back so pull over once more and water pouring out the exhaust come to find out its anti freeze got it towed home pulled the plugs and # 4 cylnder was pouring out water/antifreeze. so i figure its blow gasket or cracked head so do a comp test and all cylnders are at 160-165 so any idea if its head cracked or gasket? how much is this going to cost because im considering parting it out if its alot of money cause now have to pull top end apart chagegaskets and or heads re assemble and fix the fan so any suggestion advice would be very much appreaciated?

Sounds like a blown HG.

Price to fix depends on how much of the work you can do on your own.

do your own work and you can save a lot of $$

And use a period in your stories from now on, it helps the reader out alittle bit. Thank. And yes, it sounds like a blown HG, its just weird that you comp test showed all cylinders at the same numbers....

unplug the harness farther down and just touch two wires on the end of it to your battery f it kicks on it works
