Fun with cars
Well, I now know what is wrong with the Monte - a blown head gasket. Based off the residual damage and other assorted problems that the car may possibly have going forward (as the oil in the lower half of the engine is mixed with water and petrol from the head gasket leaking so badly), it is actually going to be cheaper and more cost efficient to replace the engine entirely. So, in a week or so, I'm going to be spending another $1000 to get this fixed. However, this means that the car should be set for a while afterwards.
