I've changed the Coolant w/a Better&Higher quality coolant & Replaced Therm( 180 degrees)-But the was"Supposed work done on heads prior to Purchase-(Cadillac &Olds do NOT recommend)&Seems between Rough/UN-Even Idle&Sound of leaking gases that may indeed be a Head Gasket Leak)?Car runs slightly better-Especially on Hwy-But IN Town IF I stop to allow to Idle, Car will JUMP from 195 to 225+ In Less than Minute&can go HIGHER IF allowed to idle any longer-(I.E. Close to 250 degrees!). Could a "Head Gasket Sealant/repair kit/additive work in Meantime?OR;Does car basically need NEW Complete Heads to Fix Problem?Know this IS a Constant problem w/4.0Litre N-Stars w/NO Grill&NO Method to get cool air upon engine-Could "Hood Scoops OR Louvers be a poss. Fix to get cool, air to alum. Engine?Its construct has NO Way for air to get to engine Stock-Hence my Idea of placing Small/conservative hood scoops on said car-OR do a Cold Air Induction Plumbed to frnt. Spoiler going to throttle body-would that be enough?
I am a PERM. Disabled Person for last 20+Years ongoing&Likely for Life&Need Help Plz:)
