you dont drive aluminum head cars with broken head gaskets, trust me, thats how i lost her, (actually my mom took my car w/o asking and took care of it for me :madfawk: ):




anyone buying a car with a bad head gasket couldnt possibly test drive it and get an accurate idea of the car.

I wouldn't test drive it. I would like to look it over. Look at the work that was done and how well it was done. Who did the swap? Why did it pop a head gasket? When did you figure out the head gasket was bad before you stopped driving it? Is there any water in the oil? Look for a milky brown color on the dipstick. Does the cooling system boilover fast ofr does it take a while? How fast it is using coolant? Do you have the title or is there a lean against it?

i bought the car with the swap.. this guy did it him self... but everything has been totally rewired and all new sensors i have reciepts for everything i have done to the car in the past month

battery
plugs
wiring
fuel pump
thermostat

its been to two shops with me.. both said the motor was in perfect condition and it just needed to be re wired.. everything has been done except for the damn head gasket ie spent all my money on everything else.. theres some door dings on the passenger side. the front left fender is kinda chewed up towards the front of the car..


title is clean and i have it at my house.

What do you mean by " motor needs to be rewired"? If the head gasket leaks then the head might be warped. You won't know that until you remove the head and take a straight edge and feeler gauge to it. What type of computer is controlling the engine? Is their a way to cantact the origional owner?
