I tried 2 HG repairs and failed at both (i think i warped my head and my piston rings were shot), so I got a new engine for $1600 (engine + laobr, that was the final total with a new clutch disc and engine mount)

 

ok, u guys r probobly gonna laugh at me. but this is what happened. i put the thermostat in backwards. anyways, i got it fix now, after paying 100$ to a shop for NOTHIN!!! omg i feel like i threw that money away. but yea, problem solved. cars running fine. but i do have another problem now. i'll post a seperate thread for it. hopefully u guys can help me out again. Thank alot all, Matt.
