Re: Car broke down, after owning it for 1 day

Yea its a smart idea to keep spinning the starter... We dont know if anything is salvagable, so if we know the t belt is junk now, then why not just take it all apart and then see the damage, versus trying to start it and ruining more shit.

About the block, if the pistons are destroyed then the block is ok... The pistons might be dead if they are hitting the valves. If the starte spins the bottom end then that leads me to assume having no oil was not the problem, becuase why would the t belt slip then?

It doesnt really matter now, I dont think he will fix that car, I advised him to get rid of it becuase it will just be a money pit down the road, and he would rather fix his conquest. Those impulse buys really get you in the end
