Fair to moderate is $3,000 - $3,500 KBB. If the market would fetch that, my breakeven is at $1,000 - $1,500 in, (not counting value of time of course). I've considered the CL option.

Holy Crap ! I thought my daughters treated cars like crap ! At least the car Robyn blew up was a 93 Camry !
What a crappy all around deal! I think you will be lucky to break even, and hope you do !

Well some minor good news. I put battery in just to see if it would turn. It started right up and actually sounded ok, minus some rattling and some kind of fuel/oil vapor leak. It also went right into gear and moved forward and back.
It's low on oil and you can literally see sludge on the cam journals looking through the filler neck. Never seen that before!
It seems to be empty of coolant. I wonder if maybe the stat stuck closed it overheated and blew a gasket, maybe without even much head warpage. That'd be sweet. Not counting on it though.
Trans Fluid Question:
I checked the tranny fluid and it was way up the stick, past the "Hot" mark though it was cold (for months). What the hell is that about you think?
Break even would be the ideal. But if I can keep from even losing $1k it's still maybe worth the moderate effort. If it's a ton of effort that only ends up saving me from $500 loss, then fuck it. So far it's looking like a lot of little shit and maybe nothing too major. Fingers crossed.

Paul, what's the book time on removing the Aveo head? Fortunately it looks like everything is pretty easy to get to.

Trans might just be overfilled....I have seen trans coolers leak fluid between Radiator and trans, but the fluid will look milky.

Try and list it on CL for the cost owed first, you might get a surprise from someone.

$2k for non-op, blown head or HG, etc., when a decent running model is just $1,500 more? That would be fairly shocking. But do ya think that's even possible?

Yes. I'm not even sure how I pull off some of the shit that I do on CL, but it happens.

Just fix it super cheap. I can get ahold of a buddy of mine who knows a shop up in LA that will resurface the head without disassembling it. He did it to his and that was 2-3 years ago and he is still driving it. I think he said it cost him $50? Then rockauto for everything else you need.
