Scene 3 in the ever evolving Blown Headgasket drama...
I call the shop to check on the progress...The guy tells me they have the engine at the machine shop and that the M. shop is checking to see if the block is salvagable..and that the #3 piston was hydrolocked...All I know is that I drove the truck into the shop...It had a rough idle but ran fine at 1000-3000 rpms...Now if it was hydrolocked is there any way I could have driven it there??? Or, did further damage occur after they took possesion of the truck...last week the guy said that they had moved it(by driving) out of the shop a few times and that all of a sudden it wouldn't hardly turn over and that when they did the compression test that fluid was coming out of the spark plug holes like the fountains at Bellagio...What's your take on it...Is this 100% or do these guys share any responsibility for continuing to start the truck after knowing that if had a potential head gasket issue....
