The ultimate piss off. HG blown, Tow Truck Driver hits my car, Then leaves me stranded.
I upped my boost yesterday. and it took out my HG which I think may have blown my motor as well (seized) AWESOME!
and thennnnn..... I blew my head gasket on the way home from hockey last night. I called a tow truck, when the guy showed up he backed the truck up and despite me yelling stop he backed right into my bumper ripping off paint and causing some minor damage. The guy then denies that he hit me. And leaves. Stranding me on the side of the road at 1 am with a damaged car and no tow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRHt-...1&feature=plcp Please share __________________

Re: The ultimate piss off. HG blown, Tow Truck Driver hits my car, Then leaves me stranded.
Holy fuck that is about as bad as it gets man. Sounds like the head lifted at higher boost pressure. You are running arp studs right. Hopefully the motor survived. And the tow truck driver thing is crazy, wtf are people thinking these days. I cant watch the vid at the moment but hopefully you can get the tow company to pay. You did go to law school right

Re: The ultimate piss off. HG blown, Tow Truck Driver hits my car, Then leaves me stranded.
I can only hope man. I think I need a new block.
I might be in the market for a 7 bolt longblock if anyone has leads...

Re: The ultimate piss off. HG blown, Tow Truck Driver hits my car, Then leaves me stranded.
Yes ARP's in the head. The Head Gasket problem I didn't notice. I noticed something wrong with the throttle check coolant temps and they were up. I took the car out of gear and it died immediately. I guess I drove on it too long...

Re: The ultimate piss off. HG blown, Tow Truck Driver hits my car, Then leaves me stranded.
That doesnt sound bad at all. Might have warped the head but the block shouldnt be hurt at all. I though something tore up at full boost or something. I wouldnt sweat it to much. Might even be able to get away with just a HG job.

Re: The ultimate piss off. HG blown, Tow Truck Driver hits my car, Then leaves me stranded.
My feelings are the heat caused the friction to increase causing the motor to cease. I dunno yet. It does kinda crank over but thats it.

Re: The ultimate piss off. HG blown, Tow Truck Driver hits my car, Then leaves me stranded.
It will need a new crank for sure. Piston rings for sure. Hopefully the block isn't warped and the pistons/rods are alright. I dunno what the head looks like but :O man I'm talking a few g's for sure. I can't do the work myself
