Default RE: 2.0 liter = throwaway engine

a blown head gasket usually have the following symptoms: bubbles of air coming up into your radiator (remove cap before starting), leaking radiator, milkshake colored oil, overheating, rough running, coolant or oil running from head, spark plugs that have a green tint (if green coolant), white colored or sweet smelling exhaust. if it is a blown mazda gasket it would be best to replace it with a new one. by the way, when was the last time you have it tune-up?
