i have an 87 NA automatic with 230k miles on it and i have already replaced the head gasket less then 5k ago and it has been running perfect since but within the last month or so it has been trying to die and its performance is sad. i start it up and sometimes it starts up fine other times it starts extremely ruff and attempts to die right away but once i get going its fine, except for somedays the temp will shoot up as im driving then drop back down and my heater will start working or the temp will just keep going up and down and my heater wont be working. im also burning oil and loosing coolant somewhere. i just cant pinpoint the problem so to solve it im just going to a complete rebuild and call it good! let me know if you have any other suggestions before i drop $700 into rebuilding it.
