Wassup all. I have a 97 Eclipse Spyder that i recently fixed up. I was commuting back from work and i notice my Engine Temp gauge sky rocketed past the line. So i shut it off and got a towe for the rest of the way. I took it to the shop to get a opinion they said i had a crack in my head but to me they just want my money. I notice my Coolant was brown but not oily. So i i flushed it and put new coolant in it and started it up. I notice it was climbing high again. So i look at the dipstick and notice my oil was really black i was like wtf? i changed the oil about 1.5k miles ago. So i smelt the oil and it smelt like pure gas. So i drained it and 1/5 of the carton of oil was gas. Filled it up with mobile 1 and decided to rip out my 550cc RC Injectors (since i ripped out my SAFC Neo) as i was talkin out the spark plugs......it cam apart so i gotta get new ones. Never bothered to try to start it up again. To me the worst it can be is a blown head gasket but im just posting for a second opinion. Thanks.
 
Lets see, You have Gas In your Oil and oil in your coolant.......Just driving with the temp high could do enough damage to constitute a rebuild, you head can warp very easy being aluminum...

You got problems, Cracked head and or blown gaskets...
You can also flood the cylinders with fuel to get fuel in oil but It would be very difficult to start if that was the case....
 
I mean i can still drive to the store and back befor it starts heating up past the half way mark
 
This is a no-brainer.... headgasket

although there is a very slim chance of it being a crack in the cylinder head
