My head gasket blew this morning. I opened up the oil filler cap and it was all foamy and there was antifreeze and steam everythere. I havent turned it on since and had the car towed home. Is my motor trashed? Is it a hard job to change? Is it worth fixing, or would it be more smarter to put an used engine/trans in it? The car itself is in mint condition and I love it. Im sad. Since i have no idea what to do I am just letting it sit im my driveway untill I find out and in the meantime i am driving a 88 Mercury Tracer to get around in. It gets me from point A to point B, just no where near as comfortable, luxurious, or as nice as my tour did
