Re: Damn saturns
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.

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 ****. 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.

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

Re: Damn saturns
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.
