Man, that really sucks. Don't give up on the RX yet. If this is a hobby car, look in to engine rebuilding (if you have the time, space and patience). Or, you can just have one of your two rebuilt.

Good luck, and don't give up!

 

question will like the stop leak work because it is blowing out of the radiator and i cant seem to get it to fire with only three spark plugs
