My daughters Saturn is suffering from what I am assuming is a blown headgasket... it has been leaking coolant off and on which seemed minorly annoying, but now is blowing a ton of it out the bottle, and running hottish. Upon closer inspection, the coolant looks more like oil lol it is definitely getting oil in the coolant, strangely the oil looks ok. So I'm assuming it has a blown head gasket. Its the SOHC 4 motor. I know there were some saturn guys on here anyone got any advice or tips? Looks to me like a rough job like the whole front cast co ver, timing setup, etc all has to come off. Not to mention not sure how to clean flush all the oily sludgey crud out of it. At this point not sure if its worth doing. Its a decently nice clean 5 speed but that still only makes it a $1000 car if it didn't need the head gasket... so, I can't decide if I should just try to sell it for like $500, sacrifice a weekemd and a couple hundred doing the gasket and etc and hope that takes care of it, or crack and just pay someone to deal with it lol.
Anyone done one and mind posting a summary?
Anyone want a $500 fixer upper?
Anyone want to help out my annoying but attractive 18 year old daughter and fix her car for a reasonable side job price?
