as of Feb 1, 2010;
my van, "The Splattmobile" is dead.

rad hoses started going one by one and got replaced the same way.
the rad itself began leaking drastically;
then a gasget failed in the heater/water pump connection,
finnally the water pump gushed from the weep hole soaking the serpentine belt flinging coolant+leak-stop+anti-freeze+water all over the electrical system
the engine began to miss-fire then blew the ceramic out of one spark plug,
the cylinder had filled with oil and the motor Hydraulic-ed.
the compression is almost non-existent in the cylinder that blew out the spark plug so i'm pretty sure that there is a big hole in the piston.
so all present projects are on hold till i figure out how to get new wheels.
The Splattmobile is going to be put out to pasture;
it will be spending it's after life on the field at Operation Milsim.
