Well my baby goes into the shop tomorrow - $80 bucks to take a look at my car and tell me exactly what is wrong. Although I already know its headgasket - this morning I found oil in the coolant and vice versa Guess I'll be without the car for a little as I'm getting Chrysler to fix the headgasket and timing belt at the same time..... hopefully it should be only gone for a day??
Stupid cars, sometimes ya love 'em and sometimes you absolutely hate them!!!
Any precautions I should take after I get the car back - like drive it super nice and what not?? Or doesn't it matter?
Should feel like a completely new car when it gets back and run nice - at least I hope

as long as they are in there, you might wanna have your waterpump changed. its okay to get on it afterwards. after my head rebuild i drove 2 blocks to the gas station, filled my tank up, and hauled ass. it won't hurt anything.

the last time i had some body work on my car, they didn't do the tension on my timing belt right(even though i let them use my manual) and it slipped. it bent the intake valves up, so i said fuck this, from now on i'm gonna do all the work on my car myself. i spent $775 on the repairs and got all this stuff:
head gasket set-$90 water pump-$40 head bolts-$30 timing belt-$40 UDP-$85 spark plugs-$5 CAI-$40 valves-$140 valve job-$160 oil-$35 oil filter-$10 motor mount inserts-$20 jeep TB-$60 belts-$30 coolant-$10 labor-$0
what i'm trying to say is if you do it yourself you will have alot more money for other things.
