93 Taurus GL (Blown head gasket or head busted?)

[wwepatriot]

Well simple question, Car is over heating at incredible rate, Water keeps getting rejected out of the radiator and blowing it back out and gets hot real fast, upon starting the engine which wont stay running very much, their was alot of water and white smoke coming from the Exaust. I was told it might of been busted head or head gasket, is their a way to determine which it is and if their is ways to repair this without pulling the whole thing apart which could take days to do?

Also theirs water in the oil. Now I cant even get it started, although this might be because of starter going back.

Does not matter, the only way to fix it is to break down the top part of the engine.Either the head gasket is blown or the head is warped. Thats why coolent is getting in to the oil and in to the combution chamber{ which produces white smoke}. and it will not stay running cause of this.
just hope its just the gasket.

Well I got it to stay running if I give it gas, although it wont stay running if its idle.

I just dont see no point in tearing it down and hope its the gasket and it end up not being that.

Although anyone see a good price to sell it for to someone who would want to buy it maybe for parts or to fix?
