headgasket yes. Anything is repaireable.
gonna end up costing u more than the car man... time for a new car...
why how much is a head gasket???
at least 1K? correct me if im wrong
its piston ring :p my car do the samething but only SMOKE on high RPM
the wrex sound should be gone after awhile.. but den the engine is screwed up.. either u rebuild ur engine / recondition or just get a new engine with lower milage..
CHECK your sparkies.. if they are dipped on oil or oil arround it..
Fuel consumption is getting worst and worst.. den ur car should retired.
symptoms :
hard start when the engine cold
black smoke come out when u start the car
running on few cylinders when u start ur car.. until it revs up and all normal..
eingine recond would cost about 2k... well thats how much my mates car cost...
