98 Tracker blown engine

[hog65]

Thanks for the quick response-- very helpful. I spoke to my mechanic this morning and he was able to get the Tracker running over the weekend.... ran smoothly for 15 minutes and then started knocking, found antifreeze in the #3 cylinder. He's thinking head gasket only, no damage to pistons or valves, so he's going to try the ThermalWeld repair.... has had good luck with it in the past. I'll let you know what happens. Really appreciate your input--- helped a lot.
