So for those of you who have been following along, about 2 weeks ago shortly after talking with !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Letho (I’m just saying can it be a coincidence? I don’t know Steve knows a lot of people who have broken cars) my head gasket decided to blow!

So since my wife and I are in the process of buying a house, we really couldn’t afford the “maybe 3100 low end” from Volvo of Annapolis quoted me. So I embarked on my biggest fix yet.
Up to this point in my life I have done some automotive work, oil changes, putting a cobalt SS suspension on a Saturn ion, exhaust work, a few other odds and ends.
Nothing like taking the engine apart much less a head gasket. So with some help from El_uly and some forum help, and good ol’ googling. I took my engine apart and put it back together!
So thanks! Oppo for keeping me amused and keeping me entertained and sprites up while I fixed on the car.
I do appreciate it!

I haven’t blown a head gasket since I had my Alfa way back in high school (3 times, btw), yet this image still triggers my PTSD.

Sorry to trigger you, I was hoping it wouldn't be as bad as it was, the car was burning some white smoke for a bit just from traces still left in it
