So I Think I SCREWED up!

well, the owner said he did not have any problems with the car and that the radiator cap needed to be replaced because water was getting out. but that was it. i guess i took that for face value.

we replaced the rad cap but had some fluid leakage on the driveway which i had assumed was a faulty hose as we had to keep filling up with water.

All the signs were there but i just did not put two and two together.

He bought it for $2,000 so i guess it was a pretty good deal since it is in pretty good condition even though the head hasket is blown.

So. I am experienced in the V8 world as far as head gaskets are concerned and consider that job to be pretty easy. How difficult is a I6 head gasket to replace?
