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
