You could always take the heads to a shop and have them inspected for warpage of cracks. If they check out good, put on some new gaskets and button it up.

Dude WTF happened? Why did you need to replace all of those parts?

Give us more information, smells, leaks, visual damage under the heads...

Are you saying your cylinder walls are busted? Your heads are jacked up? Or pistons? They are all different parts.

BTW... does the car run?

First of all get the radiator. It will help you determine other things when the coolant is moving through the engine----but even with the radiator in, do not run that engine if there is no oil pressure or there is knocking. You may have just blown a head gasket because of overheating----if you are lucky. JMHO

Bra, you blown a head gasket for sure. I don't know what made you think that you did something else, but it's your gaskets(I know this dude). Go get'em fixed men.

Your head could have hairline cracks that would be hard to catch by the naked eye.
