Re: Blown Head Gasket

If you have the 3.8L engine, the head gasket is a KNOWN defect. The cars were recalled, but the deal was ONLY if you blew the head gasket before 70K or something like that, then they'd cover it. My 94 model blew BIG TIME at 100K. Same kind of CRAP!! Cost me $1800 to replace the gasket, water pump and timing chain. 800 miles later the engine BLEW anyways (rod knocking)!!!! mechanic said the engine must have been "overstressed" and it took that long to fail. Bottom line: another 4 grand for a reman engine!
