Default What will go next? vs A New Engine

bone stock '94 4.0l xlt 4x4 ranger - 131K easy miles - 1st head gasket job both sides including heads reworked and water pump at 100k $1600 -- just had the second set of head gaskets installed on this motor at 130k miles four years later to the tune of another $1500 -- now at 131k just a 1000 miles and four months later it's eating coolant again or should I say leaking at the front engine cover..... Should I fix this? 5 to $600 I'm guessing --- I could have had a new engine by now-- I f I choose to have it done -- what can I expect to go next on my little '94 4.0 -- can pick up a re manufactured long block with warranty for $2000 maybe a little more -- anybody else been down this road? love my truck, but it's beginning to cost a little too much - I know it's just money right?

thanks all

erik
