Lately ive noticed my car dosent seem to have the power it used to, its leaking quite a bit of oil, and after running for a while you can smell burnt antifreeze. could a blown head gasket be the problem?
im thinking of swapping a new engine in instead of trying to fix this one, i would love to get a ze but i cant afford it right now
almost time for a new engine?

Re: almost time for a new engine?
does your coolant have any oil in it? by what you said it sounds like a head gasket.

Re: almost time for a new engine?
Alot of guys TRIED to blow their engines, just for an excuse to swap. Find a good, strong DE, and you'll be stoked. If your K8 is going out, it's probably running weak, so the HP increase will seem even more extreme. Do the intake, and exhaust (put headers, and filled Motor mounts on while it's out), and you'll be happy.
