Damn saturns
 
Yeah When my water pump was going bad and leaking anit freeze out the bearings it got really hot one night no where near red line but 3/4 of the way. Next day i replace the water pump then a couple weeks later I check my oil and I got milky oil. Its a saturn. i didnt care so i kept driving till about a week ago it started smoking all over. Im like WTF. But its a saturn I kept driving and addin water. I decide to check it again one day and shes toast. I got 1/4 of sludge on my oil cap and its spraying water in my intake through the PCV valves. So anyways upon goin over to SSL2K's house and pulling out a b18 out. I was like WTF. Why dont i get a honda. They are so easy to work on. Tity ways saturn = extreme suckage.

I have a 92 Saturn SL2 with over 430,000 miles and not one major problem. Saturns are good cars. There even easier to work on than most hondas. And oem parts are alot cheaper. ???

sounds like you blew the headgasket on the saturn... that was a stupid move driving it without even getting some information as to why this was happening or trying to fix it..

A honda will not be any better of a choice for you because you sound like you don't care to fix all problems when they arise..

Thank you very much Mr. 95. I had no idea I blew the head gasket. I thought someone was puttin milk in there to piss me off. It wasnt blown. It was leaking. I chose to ignore it obviously. Go try to impress somone else with your knowledge...jackass

It seems like every time i get the car the way i like it or add a new something, ---- breaks. The car was parked for a couple months then i got new wheels so i fixed the alternator. Drove it for a week then my water pump went out. Its one thing after another. It burn oil like a mofo. I bought the car from my grandma, it burned oil before she even got it, cuz i needed a car with decent gas mileage cuz the camaro doesnt cut it with 8 mpg. And the car isnt worth much. The Concept pros and rubber is worth the most.

Located in Fort Myers FL I will talk to my buddy in the shop it was his job but asked if I could get rid of it. Right now its disassembled. The car came in with an oil burning problem, one of the guys replaced valve guides and stem seals, rings and bearings and just did a hone. It drove fine for about 500 miles and came back in for the same concern (he didnt measure the cylinder walls). We tore it down and took some measurements and low and behold egg shaped cylinders. A bore and it will be a great engine. Everything is practicaly new I'm sure we will let it go cheap (100-200 bucks or so its just taking up space). I will find out in the AM. This was an aftermarket warranty job and this core was never picked up. We get these all the time and usualy take em for recycling. Same with the Ecotec motors. email me so I dont forget crazybizow@hotmail.com I dont visit this site everyday.

wow.. so you chose to ignore it.. Could have saved yourself some money by not being a moron.

It would have cost you $40 for a new headgasket set from advance, autozone, or oreileys.
Now your options were:
1 Replace the engine
2 Buy a honda.. which you will probably ---- up too..

:-\ I feel sorry for whatever the next car you get is.. Im sure its fate will be similar

Yeah I chose to ignore it. I just put my rims and tires on and replaced the water pump and alternator. I was gonna drive it. It was like this for 1k miles. Saturns would prolly be good cars if you got one new or one that you know wasnt beat on.
