Reality.
You may have internal damage & it's gonna be going shortly.
ONE WAY TO TELL
Have the water system pressure tested to see what may happen.
Good luck,
BUT sounds not good.
High milage engine over 150,000 miles?
IF YA GET BAD NEWS
SERIOUSLY CONSIDER THE ALTERNATIVE TO REPARING THAT SPECIFIC ENGINE UNDER THE HOOD>.
Engine swaps are dirt cheap keep it running solutions.
That's how I use the 3.4 mills.
Good luck
