Shop told me my motor is broke!

Well, until we get the head off there is no proof that the water is actually getting into the cylinder or if only oil has been getting in. The plug I pulled looked like oil deposits....the exhaust has not shown smoke unless I really mash the pedal....

Truthfully, I only need this truck to run well for another 5 months. I graduate from U. Texas in December and will be buying something new. Afterwards, this thing will be a project truck/playtoy. I am considering simply replacing the gasket....but I'll decide more once I get the head off and see the damage.

The motor, after changing the plug, actually runs lots better. I think this leak has been going on for a long while.
