Well, I was going to work and had the girl running around 70 and it sputtered a little and then cut off, looks down at the temp. Gauge and it was pegged out. Pulled over and pop the hood and see what was left of the coolant and oil all over the motor. It is a B3 auto. I know the head is bad now but what ells do yall think is bad now?

I say its time for a motor swap. Probably will be cheaper in the long run too. Head could be warped. Who knows what kind of damage it did to your bearings. If you did blow the headgasket be sure to strip that motor down asap and get all the water out of it if you plan on saving it. All in all I would swap motors or find a stock replacement.

Couldn't you hear any problem with the running of the engine before it totally failed? Were you listening to the radio? Bad muffler? Just curious.
