:xpcry:
My little brother (Tx_Cat) screwed up his car, chitloads of white smoke comes out of the tailpipes. After routine diagnostics (very think oil on dispstick, smell of antifreeze everywhere) I came to the conclusion that a head gasket (or both) decided to quit on him.
So now, question is:
a) rebuild current engine?
b) replace engine?
Is it even worth considering an engine rebuild? This is a stock 95 cougar 4.6 V8 with 60K at the time of meltdown. If a replacement engine is considered, which one?
02 explorer engine comes to mind, if someone can chime in, it will be greately appreciated it.
Thanks for the replies.
