Every1 ive been talking to says head gasket is no biggy.. it just takes time.. bah, I wish I knew what I know now when my wife's car blew a head gasket.. WITH waranty it cost us like 800 bux,, Before I told the shop I had waranty, they said they wanted 2100 bux,, in hindsite, they really really ripped me off and did a crappy job, messed my wife's hood up and claimed they didnt do it, and referred me to a body shop.. Funny thing, 10 minutes after getting the car back, thing over heats and blows another head gasket, back to the shop for another week, this time, they didnt even bother to flush the coolant all the way, still oil in the resevoir from this messy experiance.. time for a flush lol
