Unless you do the work yourself (sounds unlikely), it will cost you more
that the car is worth....

If they're adjacent cylinders, it could very well be a blown head gasket.
However, just replacing the gasket usually won't solve the problem. The
block and head will probably need resurfacing. You should probably hunt
down a good low-cost replacement. Major repairs are expensive, even if
you do it yourself. Look for another car that runs well but has zero
appeal. That's where you'll find the bargains.

Hey, while we're on the subject of cars, I have a '95 Chevy Cavalier
that I absolutely hate but still kinda need. It recently lost
compression in two cylinders, according to the mechanic (who also said
it probably wasn't worth repairing). Do you wise auto gurus think it
could be just a blown head gasket, or something worse?
Thanks,
John
