I finally got a chance to go out and look at that Alero with the cylinder out. It was a very nice blue 2 door 2000 model full opitons GLS. First thing I did was look under the oil cap----yup u guess it ooze milky white under the cap. So Im like ok ive done a headgasket change before no biggie, then I start the engine.

OMG the sound comming from the engine sounded like something had broke off and was making a VERY loud clacking sound.
Eh.. I walked away from it. I dont think I want to get involved in that. Its most likely going to be a complete engine replacement and I dont have an extra 600-800 dollars laying around to do it.
