I was surprised the full engine rebuild kit from rock auto, pistons, rings, oil and water pump, all seals and gaskets was <$400. Don't need that, just surprised how cheap it was.

No no. I was just surprised how cheap it was. Maybe I'll get lucky and it's just a stat and a gasket or something.  Need help with problem identification though. . cough.

Id say fill it with water, run it and see if it smokes out the tail pipe, or if it just leaks some place else. Might just be a bad coolant hose. Id come over and help you out but Id need a baby sitter.

I'm guessing I should use at least distilled water given how crazy hard the water is in Fullerton?

Just use the water hose, youre not keeping it. Youll end up draining it shortly after anyways.

Pulled only two related codes. Not sure what they mean or imply.
P0037 HO2S Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1 Sensor 2)
P0038 HO2S Heater Control Circuit High (Bank 1 Sensor 2)

Id say that's just a bad O2 sensor.

Shoulda called me G, I was driving past you. I'm free tomorrow, but leaks are best found in the day. Call me Sat morning unless you're off Friday.
