So today, I went for a drive with my family. I got to where I was going, and my car starts acting funnie. I thought it was my IAC valve being stupid. So I paid no attention to it, I stop off at a Schucks . Because my car kept over heating. So im like dam, no what? When I stop and pop my hood, I noticed that my hood was wet. Im like wtf is that. It looked liked water, I noticed that my radatior resvoir was over flowing. So I thought it was that.
My car keeps over heating an my oil psi goes down. So I stop at schucks again and pick up a quart of oil. (just did a oil change yesterday). And that really didn’t help. I am about 100mi away from home now.
I make it back home and I investage whats going on. I pop of the valve cover and intake. The intake has more oil in it than usual. I dain my oil, while im doing that I decide to stick my finger in the oil in the valve cover. The oil is full of water. Im like Fuc& me, I BLEW my head gasket.
What else could go wrong. I am so close to finishing my turbo and my car keeps blowing shit up. So their goes about 200 bucks right their..
Good thing I didn’t go to Whilby island with the rest of the guys today..
Im just glad I made it 300 miles with a blown head gasket…

Man that sucks. I would mill the head and replace the rings at least.
Years ago I had a tempo with a cracked head (all the way across) I drove all summer like that. I always carried a supply of water to fill it up after driving it. Water would pour out of the exhaust the whole time it ran. I also drove 35 miles to & from work 5 times a week. Talk about crop dusting. Smoke rolled out like it was on fire. Good luck on your repair
