Re: engine probs

head gasket i'm sure. Kinda weird tho, sbc's arent prone to it realy. How many miles are on your engine and hard were you beating on it?>

your probably fine as far as the heads go, on iron/block cars you seldomly ever have any warpage as the gasket is much weaker and much more prone to blowing then warping a head or such like you 'd find on grand ams stuff.....

anyways check your oil and antrifreeze, if oil is in antifreeze thats probably your prob, or vise versa that is.

hopefully you didnt drive her to far..... thatd be bad but, ur probably ok they are durable motors.
