Can you tell me what a blown head is on this car? Is it caused by no oil in the vehicle? It is probably repairable, at an expensive amount, however would you recommend it based on the age of the vehicle?

Thank you for your reply.

Hi rleccese and welcome to 2carpros

The only way to confirm that is have it pressure/magnafluxed tested-could be warped/cracked mainly due to overheating problem-If its oil you will know it in advance bcuz it'll be knocking loud. Its hard to say unless the cylinder head is checked out thoroughly-Could be just a blown headgasket
