A flush is just the cost of new coolant and maybe some coolant system flush fluid if you want to clean out the system at the same time, which I suggest. Maybe $30. I would next do a compression check - just get a compression checker from Harbour Freight for like $15 and follow the instructions. Takes like 15 minutes. If the numbers are more than like 25 different, then you may have a problem. Might want to double check tho - it could just be the cheap gauge. If after all that, you get a big plume of white smoke on cold-starts, lots of coolant leaking from between the head and the block, lots of missing coolant, or performance issues, you may have to get the head gasket done. This would be around $500-700 or so, depending on where you get it done and many little additional things they find in there to fix. Plus, you may need to get the head machined if it's warped.
