Consumer Description

1. VEHICLE WAS LOSING COOLANT BUT NOTHING SHOWING UP IN THE ENGINE OIL COOLANT OR BURNING OUT THE TAIL PIPE. I WAS GOING THROUGH ABOUT A HALF GALLON PER WEEK. VEHICLE MAINTAINED LOSS OF COOLANT FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS, THE ADDED PROBLEM OF LOST OIL PRESSURE THEN BECAME A PROBLEM. 2.EVENTUALLY THE HEAD STARTED LEAKING BAD ENOUGH THAT COOLANT WAS PRESENT IN THE OIL, AT WHICH POINT THE PROBLEM WAS PRESENT AND ABLE TO DIAGNOSE. 3. AT THAT POINT THE MAIN BEARINGS WERE A COMPLETE LOSS AND DETERMINED THAT THE CAM BEARINGS WERE GONE AS WELL AND HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE MOTOR. *TR
