1996 SC2 (DOHC) it had low compression, almost a gallon of coolant in the crankcase, and some oil in the coolant. I disassembled the engine assuming it was a head gasket but there didn't appear to be anything wrong with it. What I need to know is, is it common for a saturn DOHC to crack somewhere? Hopefully I can find out soon so I can take necessary action. Thanks [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img] |
i believe that if you look at the head under a black light, it may show the crack, otherwise, i would check with a machine shop, or any performance shop
|
the head is definently cracked. |
oil in the coolant, but no coolant in the oil is typical for saturns with a cracked head, most of the time they will even pass california smog
|
Just to follow up, I've got the car running finally. The engine was overheated and the head badly warped, too much to be machined. I got a used head off ebay, engine good as new! |
Congrats....................
