Re: Engien Problems
Since you think you are going to need a new engine, I would do this instead.
Check the coolant for any sign of oil.
Check the coolant level to see if you have lost coolant and if it is low then try to add some coolant until it is at the proper level. I would just think positive at this point and probably the water pump have went out.
Check the oil dipstick for any sign of foaming (white stuff on the oil). If there is white stuff on the engine oil, then drain the old oil and put a new oil and oil filter.
Start the vehicle and let it IDLE.
Watch the tail pipe to see what color is coming out, check the temperature gauge, check the radiator fan. The radiator fan should turn on around 220 degree fahrenheit. Check the bottom vehicle or the ground for any sign of water dripping as it might be coming from the water pump.
