DaveTV1 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Sounds like a blown head gasket to me. Hopefully the heads aren't warped and you can get them shaved, but if they're warped too bad you'll have to replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changt the oil las summer so i dont thinkn thats the problem. Sounds as though you may have sheared a kiniblet pin that connects the capacitor to the megaplixer, this would definately cause an oil leak from the bell housing and water to spray from the shroud covering the comboblulator. The good news is that this should be an easy fix. Get in your car and start engine. Once the engine is at idle speed place transmission in "D" (drive), slightly press gas pedal and proceed on to nearest mechanic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayseed Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 You would have to see Doomys wagon to believe it. It's made out of no less than 4 other cars, and he replaced the v-6 with a 1960's Perkins brand diesel engine out of an old tractor. That car has 9 lives.
