Re: quick question

It's very common for ANY engine that is overheated to blow out a head gasket. The head bolts pulling from the block is common on the older Northstars. The engine doesn't need to be replaced, the block can be repaired with Timeserts and last for many more years. It typically costs around $3,000 to have that done, most of which is the labor of removing and re-installing the engine.
