Today's drama brought to you by Bayer aspirin.
A older out back wagon sets on the rack, and I didn't pay much attention to it. Jim, the service writher told me the story today. A really nice Dad bought this car used from a private party in Portland for his son to use in Collage. He drove it down to Eugene (120 miles) and as he drove it the temp went up, and up, and up. He made it here and had to push it into the parking lot. Great I'm at the repair shop, he must have thought. The inital report found the bottom of the radaitor split. COULD be the initial cause of the overheat. So a replacement radaitor with the warning that it could be worse. Mr Kind Dad said "I just bought the car!... Lets see what happens"
Well Mr Kind Dad, the news ain't good. Bothe the heads and the block are warped, thanks to your sone who didn't need to stop. The est is about 4000 for a repalcement engine and labor.
Sure hope the son is getting a good education in a good paying career.
