There is engine coolant in my engine oil, the head gasket is fine,so is the intake manifold gasket, and the block is fine. What should be my next course of action, that is not too expensive?

Did you perform a compression test to check the headgasket?

If so then do a cooling system pressure test.

But generally the headgasket or intake are the cause.

Could also be a cracked head.

Many people use the headgasket sealers available at most autoparts stores.
