headgasket replacement on a oldsmobile alero

[emi325i]

Apparently, if you get coolant in the oil and drive for any length of time, the engine is done. main bearing is shot. you'll need a new engine.
A friend of mine thought he blew a gasket on his grand prix.. coolant and oil everywhere.. he actually blew a piston.


Friends don't let friends drive alero's.

Once once major thing goes bad in an Alero, its time to get rid of it.

My ex had an alero, nice car I thought, until it started dripping oil, alittle more then usual, and the bill was like $1100. There is a guy in Maumee that basically restores used Olds and for some reason he seems like he does a lot of aleros. He told us, while we were looking at one, that if you don't replace one of the gaskets (I actually think he said something to do with the oil pan) the motor will be shot. He said that one of them are made of copper or has copper in it.

He told us he is trying to keep Oldsmobile alive haha. My suggestion, get rid of it while you still can or keep it, have the motor go, and I can give you the contact number for the guy in Maumee that will gladly take it of your hands for free/or little money when the motor is shot. GL, its all down hill from here
