About 90% of all men and women today are all ****** stupid that dont know what love is. Almost everyone who is married get divorced these days mostly because of money problems. My mom fits in that category since she divorced my dad because of money. I dont respect her or look highly of her because of that. Money does not define love in any way, which is what most of your wives/ex wives have, if not already divorced you. If you or your spouse base love off of money, where you live, what kind of vehicle you have, then dont ******* get married to that stupid bitch. This goes both ways for men and women. You dont have any idea the type of person my girlfriend is and Ill advise you to keep your plagued minds and mouths shut. There are quite a few kids of today who have the heart to truly love for what love was meant for. My life, and hers are based off of true love, true happiness, the right way that the world should be, how people should treat others, but there are way too many worthless ***** in every part of this world that dont deserve to be in relationships or have loved ones if theyre induced to cheating or leaving at some point unless there is abuse going on. There are so many people that **** someone, or many over because they dont have enough care for the one that cares for them, many that have their mind set on only themselves and what everyone thinks of them. Those people are worthless and I dont see the difference between them and a pile of dirt.

You dont want to provoke my ******* anger.

These forums in these type of sections are for whatever topic the thread is about, not for any of your feedback on any personal bullshit other than the ******* topic.

Those that have stuck to and posted about the topic ONLY about the car, thank you. And for the others, why dont you focus on the ******* cars which is being discussed other than throw useless lectures about all the shitty relationships and piece of **** women youve encountered that have made you the type of person you are now. Ive been there many times in the past, youre acting like I dont know what Im dealing with in a relationship that you never had. Ive sacrificed and suffered in the past, and now I have the single most beautiful and perfect relationship than I have ever dreamt of. So all of you shut the **** up now. Shut the **** up in your own dysfunctional marriage and relationships.

Ill post the after results of the cars journey 2000 miles in its condition. Almost 600 miles on its current condition and running the same.
lol, who said anything about money? My wife was with me when I was living in my car and is now supporting me while I get my business off the ground.

What was brought up was her type of personality, the used and abused type, how everyone in her life has always abused her to get you to feel bad for her. Soon it will have been you that abused her to the next guy. You are an idiot, you need to grow up and grow some *****.

Yes, I have photonic energy flowing through my dna and when plasma reaches my neural biowaves, Im able to go through my computer screen and transfer my molecular structure through the internet and fight off internet polygons and dragons, and once I do, Im right there, popped out of your screen and in your room.

Anyway, I bought 2 K-Seal bottles and poured them in, it stopped my car from smoking, no more coolant is being eaten up, and it starts up strong every time. So I guess that stuff really worked and it works well. I accelerated slightly hard to test it and it held up. No coolant buzzer went off or anything. Now its just easy driving from here to my destination but a rebuild will be done definitely by this year.

Those things never work. You'll end up with a bigger
problem . These things are temporary if it works . It did plug a
hole somewhere with particles in the bottle but anything can go that . You can pour in sand
( not that you should)and probably work since pressure is pushing out at that point.
These things usually work TEMPORARILY when leak is to atmosphere. Your o ring is not copper
or any metal like. Those particles will actually eat away the o ring.
If it sounds too good to be true, 99.99% it is.

oh my jesus. kid. you have as much understanding of these engines as you do with life.
1. when these engines blow, there is very little that is salvageable. this isn't a piston motor. you can't just slap it back together with a rebuild kit. your housings will likely be trashed. possibly one or both rotors as well. the irons will probably be ok. but really, are you going to buy new/used housings on top of the rebuild kit and put this back together? probably not. you'll probably need to source a decent used motor and either rebuild from that, or just toss it in as is. as the engine sits, if you pulled it right now and tore it apart, you MIGHT be able to get away with a rebuild kit. maybe.

2. why in the **** are you even doing this? as has been mentioned previously, the cost of taking the bus there would be a fraction of the cost of fuel/coolant. and that is even assuming the car did make it. you're not thinking rationally here. if the car breaks down, how are you going to pay for the tow? how are you going to pay for the repairs on top of that?
why in the **** would you even risk it? why would you not take the bus, which is cheaper, will get you to your destination guaranteed, and without any variables?


i was going to post some advice on your personal issues, since you did post them up, and that does make it fair game. but i realized, what's the point? you will not listen to reason. and i don't think it's because you're some kind of idiot or *******. it's because you have serious mental issues. my sister had been diagnosed with schizophrenia so i'm somewhat empathetic. she exhibited a lot of the same behavior as you do. irrational behavior, with no thought of consequence. the obsession of needing to be somewhere/ have something, without any regard for reason. the inability to take advice.
all i can say is i really hope you seek professional help. and i hope you realize that they are trying to help

Just let him go do his thing. Clearly there is a disconnect between simple cause and effect relationships. He hasn't listened to any advice on any level and I doubt that is going to change. And plus...I mean he revved the engine high to test the coolant seal leak!

If something does happen to the engine you're better off just getting a replacement, a rebuild will cost anywhere from 1300-2000$ (for a budget rebuild)and a replacement will cost around $600 for a good used one, of course a rebuild would be better but not everyone can afford it, and thats just for the rebuild, the cost of new hoses and everything else will add on alot more money depending on how far you go.

I spent almost $5000 on my rebuild. Had to get new rotors housings because of extreme corner seal wear and a new front iron because it was cracked in 3 places.

It was a stock engine with over 160k on it. I know this because it had asbestos front cover and water pump gaskets.

Those look nice. I think i can see just a tad bit of corner seal wear on those, but nothing to be upset about.

You sir, are lucky.
