When i did the starter the other day i decided to take the y pipe off and when i looked up into the left header it was all soaked with antifreeze. My boss was saying that its either a head gasket, the head is cracked or its warped. Plus the car had a nasty tap a few weeks ago but i put heavier oiul in it and i went away. Also majority of the header bolts are broken inside of the heads(the **** b4 me decided to just keep puting bigger n bigger bolts in) he also cross threaded most likely all of them. I was just asking bout the head cuz i was pricing it out and the engine shop right down the street, R&L, said $450 just to look and pressure check then and the to fix anything its like $125 an hour plus parts. So my boss then said might as well put brandy new ones on and itll probably just end up being the same $$$. I was thinking with out doin anything else to the motor, puttin brand new heads on will just make the bottom end get messed up.
