blown head gasket help in v6 3.0 liter

hey i just blew the headgasket in my 95 4runner. it started smoking really bad then stopped smoking so i went to drive it home and it over heated. after putting about half a gallon of water back in it i made it the rest of the way. so i went to shucks and bought some engine sealer to last me a couple more months. after i followed all the steps my engine doest eat up the coolent any more or smoke at all but it still overheats.. could that be because theres water in my oil?? or possibly my thermestat? or just the same old blown headgasket? it runs a lot different and seems to be running perfect until i idle it for over about 8
minutes then it starts to over heat.. any help would be great.
thanks
miles

don't run it until you fix the headgasket, otherwise you'll be rebuilding the whole thing

if you got water in your oil it's the HG...i agree with monstermaxx though if you run the enige you'll scerw it all up....you'll mix the water/oil sludge into all the internal bearing and destory them, also it will damage the rings so you should park it
