Head Gasket WARNING!! Must Read!!

my engine had an oil leak around the CAS area but i thought it was the head gasket. I went to the parts store and bought an additive that said it would fix head gasket leaks.... bad idea. The car was losing preformance, did and 18.5 at the track, the lifters went crazy on me ticking as loud as they could scream and my oil pressure started jumping back and forth...

enough weedy weedy, let the pictures do the talking...
pulled the engine

close up, here is the killer of my engine

One of the responces:

Wow, that sucks. Note to self, if my head gasket is blown, get a new head gasket.

edit: oh shit nvm, Note to self: follow directions.

This guy didn't read the directions and then post a warning about his mistake-lol if you want to read the rest of it it's on this link> http://www.miataturbo.net/forum/showthread.php?t=21521

I'm the exception. I read directions. It's how I got the job rebuilding carbs. My boss saw me reading the directions while rebuilding my own carb. It's the only way my Ikea furniture looks and works like furniture.

I find directions much more informative after screwing up an install without them, although I wouldn't ever trust mechanics-in-a-bottle solutions (except those coolant stop-leak pills seems to work pretty good - but only in the radiator! ;)).

Oh Seth there are several levels below Stupid...

Thug, artichoke, Sub Artichoke... I'll give you a visual demonstration of Sub-Artichoke...

Picture what would happen if you said "yes I want you to Sweep up the stairs to this guy "

Yep... seen it... same Darwin Candidate put Hydraulic Fluid in my helicopter... I just happened to see him having trouble and asked what was Up... and there you go...

Let's just hope this guy has already been 'snipped' or will be in the future - so he cannot pollute the gene pool!
At least he felt confident enough to publish to the world his lack of direction reading prowess!

WOW --

And I'm another exception to the rule about guys not reading directions - I read the directions for everything -- ditto on the carb kits and ikea furniture!

Oh, damn...I haven't laughed that hard since the SRTForums.net thread a couple years ago about some kid admitting to the Internet that his dad caught him "fwap"-ping.

I choked laughing when I saw the "badass" 152 hp. Elantra. Overkill, man, ya only really need maybe 90 or so...<dies laughing again>
