155000lm and so many problems since day one

im loosing coolant god knows where. after multiple compression test and leak test im dont know where its going supposevly not in the oil and i dont smell it. when i filled it up with dexcool during a long drive i smelled a little bit of coolan while driving, but i overflowed it and now its saying low coolant again cant smell it in the tailpipe.

secon problem is the timing chain tensionner i replaced it twice since last year and i still get this damn noise.

what should i do sell the car and be done with it or replace the head gasket and complete timing chain delux kit on crateenginedepot.com

What do you have? I had similar issue in my 05 LS, lost 4 quarts of oil out of no where and no leaks no smell of burning or anything, like someone drained it and bounced out with it lol

yes bought used, its a 2006 supercharge

i just put a quart in to fill it up and i have low coolant again in less than 4 days, i cant be burning it because i would smell it at this rate is there a purge valve somewhere and what controls that would it be a bad thermostat?

how hard is it to change the timing chain im affraid its stretched out.
