SOME PEOPLE CAN'T TAKE A JOKE. I had my ex-girlfriends mom get angry at me when she saw me "administrating" the last rights to her vehicle. She told me religion is not a joke and should be taken serious. I told her that if she took her auto maintenance as serious.as she took her religious beliefs, I wouldn't have had to administer the last rights to her vehicle.

Sad to see that happen to this rig. I have a 2002 with 205k miles, and still running strong. I replaced the radiator at about 170k because the plastic for the upper hose had rotted away. I had noticed the leak, so the engine never overheated. These are great little rigs, and it's sad to see one die.

I had an engine replaced in one of my vehicles but it was a remanufactured engine all said and done I had to write a $5600 check :(. OUCH!!! Won't do that again, plus about 1-1/2 years prior I had the transmission rebuilt and that was $2400. I now have a new 30 year old truck HAHA!!! But with my maintenance schedule it'll last another 30 years at least....the previous owner didn't do anything to help it, improperly towed it behind his RV, didn't do any regular maintenance to it apparently the engine was so neglected it was burning more oil than it was burning gas, and it was excessively sludged up too. Its ok I enjoy driving it so that's the only reason I spent that kind of money on it.

That Escape looked like it was in pretty good shape body wise. Interior from what I could see didn't look too bad either. That's too bad it blew a head gasket and I'm with you on that, I wouldn't pull the head on it either, if its blown bad enough its blowing smoke through the radiator and the coolant reservoir I bet its got far more wrong than just a head gasket, and a replacement engine would be the direction I'd go too. I'm having a re-manufactured engine put in my 1988 Ford Bronco 2. Far more expensive than what its worth but I love driving it too much and its not like you can just go buy a new one :(. I had the transmission rebuilt a couple years ago so with a new engine/transmission it should be good for another 30 years....probably longer because I take far better care of my vehicles than the guy I bought the Bronco 2 from did.

Shame how nice and clean that thing is compared to most other cars you feature. Poor guy seems to have really taken good care of it. But there is no preventative measure that will save you from "the kids". I had a similar experience with a slant 6 Dodge. Ran beautifully for me. My kid used it one time and it ended up towed home with a huge hole in the side of the engine. Never seen anything like that! Of course he was "just driving it" and it started to "shake".

When you decided to not take it on to flip it, I realized that must be an ongoing temptation for independent guys. I think that would be a weak spot for me. I'd probably take on a bunch of lost causes that would never really return on the time investment, or they would sit as I failed to get to them in a timely manner. Maybe now that I'm older not so much, but when I was younger I could see myself really making poor choices in that way. Cool video all the same!

Just bought one of these. Exact model and color. It had a small misfire at idle initially and was leaking some oil around the valve cover. Went full home-gamer on it and did the timing cover gasket and timing chain (while I was in there). It had just an obscene amount of crusty sludge in it. Buttoned it back up to find the miss at idle had gotten worse over the couple of weeks it sat apart. The thing drove but just really had a hate for the idling. Long story short, she's getting an engine. Previous owner toasted it just the to the brink of death and sold it with a small miss at idle. I'm playing the very expensive fool, but it would have been more fun if mine had blown smoke rings out of the coolant reservoir...

Shame of it is, a friend of mine has an engine for that from a low mileage wreck sitting in his shop here in South Jersey.

The vehicle looked in good shape. Donating a vehicle like that to a vocational school would get a tax write off that'd be worth more than it's value to the salvage yard... Just something to keep in mind going forward. Being an old retired guy, I'd love to take on a project like that. Ahh well...

HAHAHA! 23:4 with the booster case was fantastic!! :D :D :D Man, that thing was fried to a cinder! I've been around engines a long, long time, and have never seen one that bad EVER. One time I overheated my '86 Grand Marquis after a coolant flush without removing the t-stat. Thing got so hot the oil turned to milk from the coolant that shot past the head gasket! I was watching the upper hose start to blister, when my cat-like reflexes pulled the Lever-Vent cap and avoided catastrophe. Changed the oil, and the following week I towed a U-Haul trailer 2,400 miles to Phoenix, AZ without a hiccup ... aside from a blown heater hose. A 7/16" deep socket fixed that one. :D 21st century manufacturing for ya. I'm afraid they're trying to put us out of business by making all vehicles throw-aways ... :o

Damn. It's pretty hard to blow the head gaskets on these Duratec motors. If only people had the slight common sense to watch their temperature gauge and react to it when it's deep into the red. I wonder how many miles this kid drove with no coolant in it, lmao. I'm amazed it will even start after that. I also don't blame you for not wanting to pull the heads. Who knows what horror show you'd find after getting into it. It's also a big pain to do head gaskets on a DOHC motor anyway.

You know, there should be some sort of alarm that goes off when the motor gets hot. I have to admit, I don't always keep my eyes on the gauges. Most kids don't know the alternator from a Sunbeam Mixmaster.
