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.
my new wheels, 1998 Saturn LS.
not going to be as much fun as my van
but oh well...
