Default Well guys it finally blew up.

Camaro blew a head gasket. It's not bad and can be fixed with just some gaskets I believe. No oil in the antifreeze and no antifreeze in the oil. It's running rough and pumping compression into the coolant system. However, it did last longer than I expected. 235xxx on the clock and just now having to pull he engine apart. Glad it doesn't need bearings! Lol I was more worried about that than anything else. Anyway, here's the damage.

Oh, that didn't "blow up". Looks to me like it "sucked in".
