It appears you need to learn how to work on the HHR or it’s time to move on to a car in better condition.

New guy is gonna do a hydrocarbon test before going further. He said a new head gasket replacement would be extremely expensive. Ugh.
Everything he checked & noted is at this link below. Would love to know what you guys think.

No thanks. I don’t click on links of unknown origin. Why not just copy and paste it in this thread ?

Your engine needs to be torn down. It has internal problems.

It’s 9 pages of everything that’s an issue with my car. I had to leave for a gig. My takeaway is that I need another car.
