blown heads :/
Just wondering if it's a loss or fixable..like an idiot I drove my car when it had been over heating & cracked the heads. The engine was filled with water. (already pulled the spark plugs to drain the water out). I don't know the extent of the damage. I was told that the engine has compression so I'm not sure if the heads need replacing or if its just the gaskets and some head work. What kind of damage could have been done to the engine with water in it.. What do u guys think???

Could be as simple as head gaskets.
More likely, cracked heads and/or block. Repairing the cracks would most likely cost more than buying another set of heads.
