Ok, this is the deal.

My brother's 95GT motor seems to just have reached the end. Its heating up and looks like the antifreese/water is getting mixed-up with the oil like if water is inside of engine. So my ? is what do you guys think? Should he get a new engine or re-built it? Any ideas ot suggestions will be greatly appreciated.


Gabe if you read this, let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Is the oil milkey? Sounds like a blown head-gasket to me. I am sorry to hear that Manny, that sucks.

Depending on the money, gas mileage he wants, and what he uses the car for you have an array of options.

Yup, sounds like a head gasket. Don't leave the antifreeze oil in there too long, it'll rust the bearings and you'll be in real trouble then. Pretty rare for it to blow a head gasket on an NA motor though.

Hey manny, did the car overheat before you noticed the oily coolant?? I would just try to find a used motor for it. Let me know what you decide to do, i might be able to help out.

Miles what do you think is better to do, get a new/used engine or try to fix the blown gasket?.....and yes, it overheated before we noticed. We thougt it was running low on antifreeze, but when we started to put the water in it just kept on sucking it in. Let me know if you know where we can get good used or new engine or what would be the best think to do. Thanks!

Manny,
Don't fuck around.
Call Dan Starkey at 925-570-8620 if you need a rebuild.
He is more then fair, and does wonders with rebuilds.
He just did my motor, and I am more then happy.
I would recommend him to my own brother.......
Brother!
Call me at home if you want to talk about it.
657-8665

There is a TSB on head gaskets for 302's in that year. Check with your dealer maybe you have a warranty claim. I believe they cover vehicles with under a 100k miles.

Check with your dealer but 7 years later they are probably gonna tell you to get fucked.
