Re: Headgasket issues perhaps?

Thanks for the reply,


Well since it is almost certain its teh HG, The question i really dont want answered is, how long can this last if I just drive half a mile to work and back 6 days a week? thats a 5-10 miute drive and most of the time i can get away with no issues...only 1 bog/smoke on a left turn to my house, if I go a different way. it runs perfect otherwise as long as I keep filling the water and givin it an oil change can i make it last till i can buy a new car?

Im taking the car in to the shop Tomorrow, (Tuesday) to make any diagnosis official, and ill find out how labor intensive it is, and perhaps ill have a friend and I do the repair. cuz there is no way im paying $1200-$1600 for mainly labor. the HG for my car is only $70-$80..lol
