Coolant disappeared out of mine for almost a year eventually getting worse. Thy did a compression checked and it passed (mid 150 straight across the board) Eventually they checked for exhaust gas in the coolant that is when I knew the HG was going. Oh well it's all said and done now.
Might as well and check the Knock sensor and wire while you are in there. I got a the heads machined and valve job for I think $450.
Sorry to hear about it, but start planning something.
