I'm a student at Binghamton University and I brought my redtop s13 up to BU from NYC. I knew my headgasket might be on its way after one incident of near overheating. It ran with no problems, actually smoother than ever before on the way up (3.5 hour drive, a week ago). It started acting up this morning with the idle high at near 2k and stumbling to 1.5k and back up to 2k and stumbling back to 1.5k and finally blew. All the signs are there; white smoke, no power, awful idle at 650rpm. The problem is that I'm away from home, normally I'd hav a few shops to choose from back in NYC. I'm dying to know if there are any shops near here that can work on a sr20det (replace the head gasket with the RIGHT head gasket) near Binghamton University which is in between Binghamton, Vestal, and Johnson City (area referred to as Greater Binghamton in the Southern Tier). Help!
