Re: SVX for SALE!

I was devastated when I concluded this coolant issue was another head gasket leak!
1) Is it possible to diagnose which side and do that side only?
2) Is it possible to do with engine in the car (say YES)?
3) I was seriously considering the Barr's HG Fix I bot last year (then, sell), but don't think I can sell my car to anyone in that condition.. without turning myself in to the Police! [conscience problem] .. OR .. Is it really OK overall (works good sometimes?) .. . ??
4) After all the time I spent swapping engines.. my wife will not be thrilled with me doing more (every Sunday!) car repairs! ..(I'm slow, methodical).. plus cold here soon.. This is an OLD car.. love it.. But OLD. Squeak up front (bouncing).. yellow poly's?? I just put in when engine was being done.. Annoying squeak!.. Well.. old enough to sell certainly, but conscience (and marriage) challenges! Ha!.. ???
5) I also noticed AC very variable .. sometimes 21 degrees (on AC thermometer in vent).. sometime 58! I wonder if I'm about to have trouble with the AC (compressor) or climate control? Is this related to the overheating/head gasket leak?
Thanks, Jim
