New head gasket and an oil change and it'll be good as new.

That's the last time I'm asking him for a push start
You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!

I was going down the motorway, and the temp raised, so I gunned it to get off the motorway, as the next exit was what I needed,
So just as I left the motorway, smoke is coming throught the radio aperture (smoke, not steam), engine is missing badly, (Pinto), but struggles on, I pull in at some lights, and the engine finally dies.
Lift the bonnet and oil is seeping from between the head and the block, I get it recovered, and remove the head, and one piston is oval shaped, and welded to the block lol!
Wasn't a worry, as I had a 2.1 engine to fit anyway, with twin DCOE carbs, and the first time I drove it the gearstick snapped off!
A while after that, minding my own, a new driver pulled a right turn in front of me, and hit me head on, writing the car off...I jumped out, to assist them, and there was nobody in the driver seat? She jumped out via the passenger seat, as her door was jammed shut.
