    Cool Blown head gasket!!! Worst I've seen

    so I bought a 1991 sundance 2.5 turbo. Brand new tires and brakes all the way around clean interior body not the best with 51,098 original miles. Got it for $350. It was running when I looked at it (on 3 cyl) pointed that out to the guy but I wanted the tranny. Get it home started it I could here a weird air rush in perfect time. For the heck of it I filled it with antifreeze left radiator cap off. Each time #4 was on compression it shot antifreeze almost to the hood!!! Never seen one that bad figured I'd share

    driver rear headbolt wasn't but finger tight. right where gasket blew out. Weird thing is it seems to be original gasket. car has 51,000 miles and looks to be never touched.

    Sounds like mileage was saved by building the motor poorly. Hope the crankshaft, rods, bearings etc are okay after pushing around all that water.
