[QUOTE="fbi90909, post: 5276956, member: 568679"] i did not know that a blown head gasket will blow the engine w/io causing the engine to overheat first. they shop that installed the engine may have improperly wired the engine to the car thus not letting you know the car was overheating with the blown head gasket. iirc, a blown head gasket can be replaced and cost maybe 10-20 bucks for the parts.. i have a 93 mazda 626 v6 sitting in my car port with a blown head gasket and valve cover gasket. parts will only cost me like 30 bucks. the engine still runs and idles like normal but will overheat if driven for more than 10 minutes.. edit: if they knew that water was getting into the oil they should of known it had a blown head gasket before they even let you drive off with it. might want to take it to another shop. have them replace the gasket and check for signs if the head is warped. if it is it can be fixed.
