   the new merchanic says that he thinks that
   the engine block might have a big crack in it.
   thats why the oil is getting into the water.
   
   ii just had an headgasket done after that failed.
   could if be possible that the guy who did that headgsket
   could of cracked the engine block?
   
   and for my question how much would it cost to get that fixed.
   the merchanic saying ii might as well get a new engine..
   wtf is that right or he after money from me??

   the engine block is mainly cast in one piece with the purpose of not having any weakness, if there is a crack in the block you will need a new engine because even if you have it filled the weakness will still remain and probably haunt you in the near future.
