Hi!
The car is not smoking but its definitely not running like it did prior to the incident- dragging a bit/ not accelerating well. It was mechanic #2 that informed me of the cylinder damage. He has no reason to be dishonest about the damage given that he has recommended that I buy a new vehicle vs. the cost of paying him to rebuild or replace the engine. He also offered to help me with mechanic #1 if he refuses to pay and I pursue legal action. Do you think that the frozen coolant could have caused the damage? If so, how can I prove this. Please be specific because I'm a car ignoramous!

Thanks so much!
