Hey guys,
I just bought my 96 Trans Am about a month ago, and I now have a major engine problem (this really sucks...). The original problem was that the car overheated, but after not being able to figure it out, I took it to a dealer. They then told me, after a few days of trying to figure it out, that there was a good amount hydrocarbons in my engine coolant. Whether it is a bad head gasket, cracked head, or block (god I hope not), I'm not sure yet. I'm getting it towed to my friends house who is going to help me fix the problem. I'm not exactly sure how we are going to do this, but there is a good chance of having to take the engine out. I realize that these engine are technically suppose to come out the bottom, but they are able to be pulled out the top also, correct? We're not going to have access to a lift since we are working in his home garage, so we're really not going to have a choice. Could you give me some advice on how to do this? Thanks guys!
