9000 blew its head :(
Posted by davidk (more from davidk) on Tue, 22 May 2012 10:53:56
So I posted down lower about my HG failure last Wed.
I drove her 2 miles home a chugging along and also restarted briefly on Saturday. Dip stick is milky. So many good parts like new alternator, tires etc.
If I fix this car, will it ever be the same? I knew coolant got in the oil but didn't realize that oil also gets in the coolant -radiator, water pump etc. A real cross over mess!!
I have so many miles on her 220,000 that I might have to part her (no rust Florida car).
What to do?
Quasi?? Ari ??? Yaofang ??? am I going away from here too?

Advise please.

Can it ever run good again after this failure? I took such good care of it and don't want future issues. Please advise.
