What can I do to stop it ?
Repressure test cylinders ,may have damaged head gasket in reassembly,heads might not be flat [slight warpage] may have damaged cylinder wall ,[water jacket ] block may not be flat ,and check the intake manifold itself and the gaskets for leaks can cause antifreeze to seep into engine
SOURCE: blown head gasket how much to repair?
You may be better replacing the whole engine with a rebuilt. It's going to cost close to $1000.00 to repair and you can buy a rebuilt for just $1700.00 and you know the engine is fresh. With a blown head gasket you have the fear of antifreeze contamination in your engine oil. The antifreeze is corrosive to the crankshaft bearings and you may be looking at bearing replacement also. If the body is good, you can always try to find another 1997 cavalier with less miles and swap out the engine. Seen most cavalier around that year for sale starting at $500.00 and another $300.00 for labor to do the swap. Good luck and sorry about the bad news. Keep me posted, be glad to help.
