LT1 Headgasket shop help in DFW I think I blew one of my headgaskets on my 1996 formula. Does anyone have any recommendations on a reputable shop that will replace the headgaskets for less than an arm and a leg?
Backstory: Car blew top radiator hose and all the fluid left in about 3 seconds on the freeway. There is no knocking or tapping, but the car is overheating bad, and the coolant disappears on each refill. Mind you I havent been driving it, just checking it out in the driveway. I have no oil in the coolant, and the dipstick doesnt look like milkshake, but the level has come up. No smoke out of the exhaust. I dont know what else it could be. Its not the water pump either, I checked the weep hole.
Thanks in advance
Chris
