it figures...
Last month i got my beater car (94 grand am) to almost pass inspection. surprisingly it only failed for the ebrake considering the front end is a mess and the a/c clutch bearing makes noise all the time...anyways. so i spend about $80 on new drums and shoes cause the old ones were in desperate need of replacement. I fixed the E brake and passed inspection....
Now, the other night my temp gauge was a little higher than normal...ok so maybe it needs some antifreeze cause it has a small leak somewhere. the next day i take it to work and it starts a valve tap develops and stays for about 3 miles..then goes away..ok needs oil ill do it after work...first thing i do is open the oil fill and all i see is very dirty rocker arms and springs but also greenish/yellow muck that is associated with head gasket leaks. So one of the head gaskets is bad and that pretty much kills my idea of driving that car for another 2 years with the good inspection. All well.
