Money's tight --- can I do this shortcut?

-I have a car (not a great car) that I need to last another 1.5 yrs. (I got a special needs daughter that I take care of a wife and a little boy). I make good money but 'in one hand out the other' --- I'm working broke.

My PT cruiser looks like it blew a Ring *cly #4. --- my gear monkey friend says 'you don't have to bore out the hole...just change the rings' !

Since it would take 'months to get the head born-out' (shops are backed up big time),... can I skip that step?

IF SO, it would save me a lot of headaches, times and money.

Thanks very much for your help!

In 1988, Farian signed Pilatus and Morvan to a contract stating that the duo would perform on recordings and obliging Farian to produce a minimum of 10 songs per year for Milli Vanilli. But Farian didn't think they were good enough vocalists.

Instead, he used Howell and Charles Shaw, another former American soldier, on the lead vocals and sisters Jodie and Linda Rocco on background vocals on the final recorded version of "Girl You Know It's True." In order to protect the secrecy about who the actual vocalists were, Farian did the recording sessions after midnight.

When Pilatus and Morvan went out on the road to promote the music, they again did not perform any of the vocals. Instead, they lip-synced and danced to pre-recorded tracks.

In 1990, Milli Vanilli won grammy award for the Best new Artist!

Hi Friends,

Looking at a 2010 for sale with 143k, 4wd. --- The car looks clean and drives well. I'M NERVOUS about that many miles (even though its ok for a 16yr old car). I hear nothing but good thing about Subaru, but I thought to ask the experts.

* What should I be Leary of with this car --- ?

Thanks very much for your help!

Hi Friends,

Looks like I blew a piston ring as the car 'smokes like a diesel truck' coming down the road. THE GOOD thing is that 'no one tail gates you' when your blowing a ton of toxic smoke at them LOL.

After a leak down test showing 70% loss of power in cyl 4, two mechanics have told me the Piston Ring is shot.

* Anyone ever Rebuild one of these motors -- was it worth it?

Thanks for your help!

HI Friends,

I Just looked at a 2015 4x4, with 154k, auto, for sale.

Beautiful Grey paint black interior. However, the Head Gasket(s) need to be done. Someone drove the thing hot, and a mechanic determined it was broken gasket.

One of the cylinders is missing (not hitting, no spark) and giving it a rough idle. Other than that, the car seems to drive fine (trans mission works), AC works, all accessories work too. The oil was good (no mixture of water) and the radiator fluid looked good (no foaming or crud indication oil in the system).

HOWEVER, I'm worried about the cost of fixing that Head Gasket. Its got that 5.7 Hemi, which is a great motor but I'm thinking expensive to fix.

Anyone have an idea on what that Job would cost?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Friends.. seller has this nice looking Edge for sale, but the Trans is shot. I don't know any Transmission Mechanics, but it sounds expensive. He wants 3k for the car with 138k. Is it worth it to get involved with this project?

Thaks for your help!
