Won't do you any good. My friend just blew a head gasket, $175 parts and labor. The mech was probably drunk.

You said water coming from the exhaust?? Uh.. maybe it's just me, but when a motor is running, if the headgasket is blown, the coolant leak will become vaporized in the combustion chamber, mix with the exhaust, be burned again in the catalytic converter, then exit the exhaust. Not to mention that I seriously doubt water would make it that far down the pipe (bacuse of the turns and kinks)... Are you certain it's antifreeze dripping out, and not just condensed water?

bah drive it until it blows up completely, just buy a bike rack and strap a bike on it so when the car blows up you can still get to where you're going

Swap the 2.5 for a 4.3 L Vortec V6 from an S-Series blazer!







Or not.. the blazer is RWD.
