Why should I buy American Again?

Well Indy8 if your really ambitious (actually I get:=take: three months off during the winter) you could do it yourself. I'm in the middle of tearing down a 97 with a neglected cooling system for a woman at work. The car has been sitting in her garage for the past year with a blown head gasket at the no. 7 cylinder. No work on it this week! The temp. here in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) is hovering between just below zero and a little above zero.

If you're not losing coolant, there's no coolant in the oil, good compression in all 8 holes, how can one be sure the head gasket(s) are bad? Plugs all look good too!
