You have no white smoke coming out the exhast at all?But at the same time you have exhast smell in the rad?Pull the plugs to see if they have had coolant on them..like whitetish burnt residue or slightly rust..or you might even smeel the sweet smell of burn coolant on them..

You blew the engine. those bubbles are compression getting by the seals into the coolant system making bubbles that you see.

Basically a seal went..it will get worse....

Your coolant seals are going bad.. I wouldnt say its blown or went to shit untill white smoke blows out the exhast..but your time is limited and watch your temp guage..

Levi should be able to help you with your rebuild..

You cant just change coolant seals.. you will need a full engine gasket set..then once you crack open the engine you have to check your rotor housings for flaking and wear..

Then pending on your milage and the wear on your apex seals.. and how long you plan on keeping the car..determins if you need apex seals..

I know it sounds getto..but you can put in 100. in gaskets to get it back running..or $100. plus another $gestimate of 500-800. on new seals..

Its up with you ..

Since your going to be saving for an new engine..

What will you be doing with yours and the parts?
I may need a couple of things like the alt... rad... maybe the rotors.. if its 89-91
