Default HELP! mechanic says head gasket blown on '03 Impala LS (video)


major problems: overheating/excessive pressure from radiator cap. steering wheel locked when i turned left.

i replaced the battery and was able to drive it but the loud noise your hearing indicated i needed a tow to the mechanic, he replaced radiator and fan + alternator. told me i had a blown head gasket. i drove less than a few blocks away and the steering wheel locks up after i made a left turn. towed it home.

So far ive replaced:
radiator + fan
alternator

and i have:
ignition coils
module
spark plug wire set
upper intake manifold set
water pump
transmission master kit

Now i need to find a reliable head gasket set, motor mounts, as the old ones are either worn or non existent ect.
im replacing all the old worn parts so post your reccomendations below

Sorry, not sure what you're asking for. But I'd make absolutely sure you do need a gasket and, if so, due to overheating, you may need a new head as well.
