Sadly, with no warning, she puked up the Head Gasket last night.

Got a CEL under normal driving, the temp dropped to zero(odd), and stalled in an intersection. When it roughly restarted to get out of the intersection, she made it another 100 yards and "pop".

Hoping for a hose/radiator, i popped the hood, and there is chocolate milk all over.

I'll yank the head(which i fear is trash), and have the block checked for straightness, to sell after I swap in the fresh setup. Found a swap locally with half the mileage of my original for under a grand, and labor is cheap to free.

Wanted to NA-T the new setup, or go GTE, but it's an '02 and I dont want to have to pony up another 2-Large for an AEM EMS

Turns out it was mild between two cylinders...head is off at the shop now getting resurfaced, and new gaskets/headbolts are on the way...whole swap will be for sale soon, as I already ordered new stuff

Blown Radiator....the head still warped from overheating. The Coolant Temp Sensor Failed, showing zero degrees...car was driven for two exits on the highway then pulled off, and radiator exploded...towed to the shop after that

I ended up swapping a new motor and trans in the car per the diagnosis of BHG anyway...so if anyone wants a good cheap block, or gs300 or is300 trans..holler
