Thats not what I wanted to hear, but it is what I expected. I blew the head gasket when I first got the car too. It was sort of a similar situation in that no mechanic (and at the time, I took it to 3 different ones) knew what was wrong with it until it was blown. I don't think I worded that right. Anyway, I know how much it cost me the first time, but how much should it cost to fix it?
