So my GF drove my car last night and didn’t realize it was overheating. Kept driving until it busted a radiator hose and stopped accelerating. Replaced the hose and it will not start. Is the block cracked?!? Blown head gasket?!? Need to know if I should just cut ties and move on or can this be fixed?

Esta é uma boa pergunta?

cooling system wouldn't stop an engine starting so need to check the fuelling system and compression first, worth checking why the car was overheating too or it will happen again, check thermostat, fan switches, clogged radiator. check the head gasket first as this will most likely cost the most to fix, when the engine is cold remove the oil cap and look for a brown milky goo on the bottom of the cap. check the plugs for any rust or water fouling, start the engine with the plugs put back in and whilst its cold remove the rad cap and check for bubbles whilst the engine is running, get a compression test from a garage, all ways the check your gasket, doubt the block would of cracked. hope you manage to get it fixed.

earlier (before reading this) I pulled the plugs and there was some wetness on them couldn’t tell if it was gasoline or something else. And while they were out I looked into the cylinders and there definitely something wet in there because I was looking back at my own eyeball! (Water reflection) I’ll get the compression tester tomorrow and see the results there. Didn’t think to check the bottom of the oil cap but I’ll be doing that as well. Can’t check for bubbles in the radiator because the engine will not start? Also took the valve cover off and seen that the cam is turning. The oil pump is working fine and I didn’t notice anything about the oil that would cause panick?? I’ll update when I’ve completed the above-mentioned tasks
There is 0 psi in any cylinder. I think the head gasket is blown or the block/head is warped
What was the problem?
