blown head gasket... please help!
i just got back from the shop because my car was over heating and turns out i have a blown head gasket. there are bubbles in the radiator and its a little bit foamy. Does anybody know where i can get a new head gasket and where/who can install it for fairly cheap?
btw i have a 92 del sol.
please help me!
OK SO MAYBE ITS NOT BLOWN... I JUST TALKED TO SOME PPL AND THEY TOLD ME ITS NOT BLOWN. MY ENGINE IS ONLY AT AROUND 180 DEGREES WHICH IS COOLER THEN NORMAL. THERE ARE STILL BUBBLES BUT I THINK THAT IS BC I RAN OUT OF COOLANT. what do you guys think now?

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
