My Car is broken

Well all I have to say is that people don't take care of you stuff like they should. I got deployed in march and my wife left to go back to the states so I let a friend of mine drive my car while I was gone so that it did not sit for months on end. He ended up PCSing about two weeks before I got back and when I got back I thought I would go for a drive but to my surprise my battery was dead. But wait that's not all heres the list

blown head gasket
blown exhaust gasket
cracked exhaust manifold
no oil
dirty inside an out

Well I guess the only good thing that came out of this is he left a benchmade balisong in my car. No I am fighting with this guy to give me money to help fix my car. I am pissed I want to hurt this guy.

hmmm well now that would make me angry! I would prolly hurt him too... ur best way to get him to pay is just to bring him to an ATM and tell him to withdraw some money or else he is gonna get it...

Wow, there's NO excuse for something like that. I don't even know how you could possibly do that much damage without taking the vehicle through the woods at 50MPH.

If he won't pay talk to your shirt or his. I don't like going that route, but you got to do what you got to do.

You have a eclipse, right?

These cars were somewhat know for cracking the exhaust manifolds, usually burning a few valves in the process...

If the head gasket is blown then you need to have the head checked out, it could be cracked or warped, not to mention it may have burnt vavles...

While you have it apart you shoud change the timming belt and the water pump...

With it having no oil and possible head damage your probably way better off lucking for another motor...

With a blown head gasket chances are a good sum of coolant got into your oil...

That coolant probably sat around your crank causing it to rust these little pits..

You may start your engine and it will sound fine, then 3 days later when you accelerating to get on the highway you start hearing a knocking sound, damn.....

You think back to this post and remember me telling you that your crank is probably pitted... You flip on your flashers, but not because you just beat that car that wasnt even trying to race you, its because you just spun a bearing...
