Antifreeze in my Oil - Not good...



It's not bad to do it yourself. I did the LIM on my cousins 01 malibu. I just bought the gaskets and spent an entire day cleaning and repairing.
 
The service people are going to do a full top end. They have the heads off and they are at the machine shop now. The car only had about 140,000 miles on it. I have 3 Pontiacs and two of them are Grand Prixs (check out my pictures), but they are not as reliable as some of my other cars. This 1992 is particularly bad. I just had the transmission overhauled. That cost over $2,000. Two months later I have this major engine problem. So I either cut my losses and just kiss the transmission job away or spend more to get the engine repaired. Of course I am making the wrong decision and I am getting it repaired. But now I am very suspicious on what else awaits for me around the corner. Oh and most of my instruments don't work. The red engine light is always on and I can not get it off. I guess I am just getting frustrated with the car.

Just don't get me started on the brakes on the car. Once a year, they have to replace the calibers. $1,000. The service people just say it is a very poor design. I take all my cars to the same service people and don't have this problem with any of the others.

I think very shortly we might be parting company.
 
For the money you dump into it like that your better off spending 3-5K on a newer used car.........Sounds like alot of money to invest into a nearly 20 year old car to me IMO.
