General motor question Reply #15 – May 28, 2011, 03:20:42 PM So I pulled the plugs and tried again.....no luck. I did notice the #5 plug had some kind of green corrosion and the plug itself was pretty rusty. The other plugs I pulled looked normal though. Quote Selected
General motor question Reply #16 – May 28, 2011, 04:48:48 PM How is the antifreeze? If the water to antifreeze ratio is off it could have frooze and cracked the #5 cylinder. Thats what I'm leaning toward if the other cylinders are fine, that or a bad head gasket. Quote Selected
General motor question Reply #17 – May 28, 2011, 05:07:13 PM Eh, either way it don't matter anymore. Anythings possible at this point since I don't know how the motor ran before it was parked and my sisters boyfriend (it was his car) doesn't know a spark plug from a cylinder head so I can't really get any info out of him. They have decided to just put a new motor in, not my choice but it's their car. I found them a good motor with low mileage and a warranty for under 400 bucks. And the shop that did my transmission in my Escort (who only charged me 180 bucks!) will be dropping in her motor for a very very good price. I just want it out of my garage so I can pull my truck in and start work on it. Quote Selected
