[QUOTE="4sdvenom, post: 16457266, member: 13315"] Second opinion or tackle it yourself. Engine out would be the easiest. First of all though I would get it back and read up on how to do a compression test and a leak down test and do them yourself. I don’t like to rely on what a mechanic may or may not say what’s wrong with it. FYI I’ve dropped my motor out the bottom every time it’s been removed. Took me about 4-5 hours the first time I did it until I seen what actually did and didnt have to come apart. Now I can do it myself in less than 3 hours once the car is in the air. That’s with just a floor jack, jack stands and an engine hoist (to support the engine and lower it) with a floor jack under the transmission. Find a sturdy and low profile 4 wheel cart with casters to drop it onto and roll out through the wheel well fully assembled. Do yourself a favor and do it yourself, you and your wallet will thank yourself later. Borrow a car if needed Oh and yes they do blow headgaskets. Mine did. Ken [/QUOTE]
