|  blew a head gasket on a '93 sable I posted this on the 5 liter board, but I think you guys would have some input too: have what looks like a blown head gasket on my mom's '93 sable. Its a 3.8L V6 with 100K miles on it. The car idles rough and spits out white smoke that smells like coolant. How ever there is no coolant in the oil or oil in the coolant. The mechanic wants to resurface the heads and put on new head gaskets from pep boys... does the head resurfacing sound like its needed? How common is this problem and would new gaskets be a perminant fix? Also should new FORD gaskets be bought? I hear they have a new design that fixes this problem?!? Thanks for any info! ------------------ Stocker 1989 LX 5.O: My Web Page |
