have a 96 mustang with a blown head gasket. it showed signs of it happening about two months ago with oil in the coolant. but not the check engine light is blinking and it is shaking horribly when its idle. the car still runs well when im going at a decent speed. the cheapest price i got to fix it was $1200 and the car is not worth that. could i maybe change the oil and the coolant and put some sealer in it to get a few more miles out of it? or is it just too late. any help or advice would be appreciated thanks.Blown head gasket on car......how long will my car run, still runs good?well , you could just do that .change the oil and coolant every week until you spend the total of what it would cost to fix.
also you could have a fouled spark plug. if you don't want to spend the money ,
just save the money and buy another one that you'll not mind spending money onBlown head gasket on car......how long will my car run, still runs good?Any answer as to how long this will continue to run is purely a guess. If the coolant is also mixing with the engine oil, it won't be too much longer.
I can tell you that I have never had any success, despite the outrageous claims on the labels, with any of the magic snake oil sealers available when it comes to a bad head gasket.Blown head gasket on car......how long will my car run, still runs good?Bottom line you need a new head gasket if you don't get it changed soon good bye engine because that white smoke indicates that your getting coolant in the cylinders and you have to be very careful with that because that will cause you engine to hdrolock which could cause bents rods and then you will have to either spend the money for to get the whole engine overhauled which will cost a lot more than 1200 bucks or a new car which again will cost more that 1200, and i have seen those sealer things cause more damage then fixing anything so i don't trust them, you would be better off to just get new gaskets seriously even if that means parking it till you get the money
