WOW GREAT ADVICE! If I could see the TEMP of the engine MAYBE I would try that! I have to fix one problem before fixing the other. I was simply looking for ideas. Wishful thinking I suppose.
Steve - I am going to figure out why I don't have a temp gauge then fill it up, let the coolant flow, fill it up more.. get it so the coolant is where it should be. After that is taken care of, I will do a compression test. I don't have a way to do a leak down test. There is supposed to be a radiator coming in for the car.
Usually when a headgasket goes, the compression numbers will be scattered depending on where the break in the gasket is correct? What would I look for if the compression comes out to 15x in all holes? I could visually look for a crack in the head but god only knows how tough it could be to find that.
Step one though, fix the temp gauge! Tomorrow I'll do that amongst other things.
