There are 2 other possible coolant leakages:
- intake manifold gasket (at cyl. 4)
- Idle Control Valve at the Intake Manifold

It could still be the head gasket... did you check the deck or the head? I have seen a lot of blown up shit but never a cracked sleeve on an s20000 motor

had trouble starting the car before i change out head gasket. when it starts a lot of white smoke came out of tail pipe. smelled like coolant. changed out head gasket, resurfaced head and now the car wont start
