You think I have a blown head gasket?

[davidalindsey]

, yea so I have been driving around for about 6 months with a blown head gasket and I finally decide to fix it.
Im glad I did. take a look at this thing. Not only that but the water pump, and tensioner pulleys where about to blow out. Car has over 150,000 miles on it and im sure they have not been replaced since its been off the lot.
I replaced it with a MSL copper sprayed gasket, ARP head studs, brand new water pump, a goodyear gatorback timing belt with new tensioner pulleys.
I cant take the credit for puting this stuff on, credit goes to Dave a mechanic I meet on craigslist. he only wanted $250.00 to do it all. Not a bad deal. Thanks dave. I'm good for another 5 years.

Were you limping your car around everywhere you went? .

Wow that headgasket looks terrible. Congrats on getting a great deal on the labor though, $250 is a heck of a price compared to what the average garage would charge.

That's a pretty bad head gasket. Prob the worst i have ever seen . Nice deal on the labor though WOW. That should have cost you twice what it did. good luck with it. Take better care next time though man.
