head gasket prolly, check out your oil and see if it looks like fudge, or start the car cold with the radiator cap off and see if bubbles come up

My car is being rebuild right now today because of the same reason. My oil didn't look all milky, but when we took the heads off, the gasket was about gone. Sorry for the bad news mate. GL. May as well put a cam in it while you've got it apart though. Why pay for installation labor?
