SOUNDS LIKE YOUR HEAD GASKET IS BLOWN

THIS WILL REQUIRE REMOVING THE HEAD(S), CHECKING TO SEE IF THEY ARE WARPED, POSSIBLE HAVING THEM AND MACHINED, AND POSSIBLY REBUILT. THEN REINSTALLED, USING PROPER TORQUES AND TORQUE SEQUENCE

. THIS IS A REALLY INVOLVED TASK FOR SOMEONE WITH FEW TOOLS AND LITTLE EXPERIENCE

THERE ARE SOME "POUR IN" FIXES AVAILABLE, THE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED TO A "TEE" AND DEPENDING ON THE SEVERITY OF THE BLOWN GASKET. EVEN THESE MIGHT NOT WORK. OTHERS WHO HAVE USED THESE TELL ME IT IS A TEMPORARY REPAIR

GOOD LUCK!

That one sounds pretty bad. You likely have extensive damage well beyond the head gasket. I'd say you should be looking for another motor. You don't want to sink $1000 into that one only to find out the motor is shot.
