I would take the head off and have a look. You can always then decide to repair or get a donor engine be it same or 1.8. Trouble is you will not know the history of the donor engine and even if you see and hear it running it is a big gamble. Remember to take into account,t if you fix the head leak, the skimming of the head , gasket set and new head bolts along with new oil and filter and coolant. But better the devil you know etc!

Yes I love the stuff but plenty of folks don't. Main thing is it saves a head job and when I have used it I have never had any more problems after.
