    Another Trytoo motor gone to heaven

    Hi Guys
    Just towed the Trytoo home,the missus rang up saying its stoped and there is smoke pouring out from under the bonnet.She wasnt game to open the bonnet,I told her let it burn,but as we all know **** dont burn.
    By time I got there 1/2 hour later the temp gauge was still past the red,nicely cooked.She tells me she only checked the oil/water yesterday,I opened up the bonnet,smoke still coming out of the oil cap,no radiator cap,it was sitting next to where it was suppost to be.Im guessing she lost water as she was driving it yesterday,then overheated today due to low coolant.
    It will now start,but very little compression and heaps of smoke,plus the head is cracked judging by the pressue coming out of the radiator.
    Not wanting to fix it,this is its 3rd motor!!!!!
    Will have to find her another vehicle pretty soon.

    My Mum did that in her 2H powered 1982 Toyota troopy many years ago. Didn't do it any harm. I think it was off for a lot longer than that too.
