my temperature guage shows overheating every day. the car used up to 1/4-1/2 anti freeze container every day. i have replaced the thermostat. i can hear radiator water circulating when i first start up the car. at the end of the day the water is quite hot in the overflow container, sometimes bubbling up. how do i tell if the motor is damaged? should i now replace the radiator or fans? the fans seem to work. it is a 93 lexus es300 v6 3000 motor,

these are exactly the same symptoms when i blew my last motor. no leakage from rad some white smoke from tail pipe but constant usage of water from the rad. have to fill it with some water every day. how long can a car go like this? i dont want to spend any money on this old car. 225k 93 lexus es 300. sure is a good car tho. but ac doesnt work, no radio or cd just trying to get a few more months out it

Hard to say, if it is a head gasket likely not long?

what is the cheapest way to repair the gasket without changing the engine and how is is done. i read somewhere they could just mold it back into shape or something. grind it?

Please post your inquiries in just one place. It only causes confusion amoung the techs as you have had essentially the same ideas and had I seen what Dan said first I wouldn't have just answered the other one, Thankyou, T
