erikv11! My wife would kill me!

oragex, that's what I'm thinking... Do I really need to be a 4 on MVS? (Or lose points for flubbing up a headgasket job?)

Is there any consensus on how long you can "gingerly" drive an overhearing P80 before you need a head gasket job?

On freeway and no stopping? From east coast to west coast.

If the head gasket is already gone, 10 minutes, maybe.
