on my way home from work. the mustang start over heating. then pegs the gauge at 250. coasted and shut off. pop the hood. check the oil. not even showing on the dip stick. and i just changed it 4 days ago. which was 152 miles ago. after its home drain the oil and its PITCH black. oh and looks like a MILKSHAKE!!!! yumm right? put it into a container and it got up to a little under 2 quarts. well that's nice. burned 3 quarts in 152 miles. and that's all in driving to and from work. then to get food each night. thing is. didn't even smell like it was burning oil. no warning. just all of a sudden gauge pegged and was over from there.


nice way to end my long ass day. and the compression test was less then appealing to me.

You blew a head gasket,at least. I would just swap it out, I would be willing to bet that engine would need a lot to repair.

[Ryan218]

If you look online you can usually find a junkyard pretty close that will have what you are looking for. Usually walts up in springfield has some laying around.
