Head Gasket Blown, Overheated
Hi,
My daughter let her coolant reservoir run dry. Kept driving the Explorer with engine light on and check gauges.
She made it to Canadian Tire, they tell her head gasket blown spewing coolant all over engine, no surprise. They went on to say, they think main bearings gone and want to replace. I told them do not do anything and I will get Explore Towed from there.
Is this possible to score the main bearing and to determine, without teardown.
Can anyone answer and know of any good reasonable cost shops or bcakyard mechanics? We are in SW Calgary.
It is a 2000 Explore with the 6 Cylinder engine.
Thanks,
geezerglide

The Tech question is better asked in the tech forums.
The Calgary Mechanic In the SW question is tough to answer as the places I knew have been torn down to facilitate roads & buildings.
Which Canadian Tire ? ....Mcleod Trail or....... Richmond Road & 50st
The Backyard guys I have lost track of.
and my *Major work* Mechanic is in Red Deer.
Oh and ...He means Marlborough Ford which is a long way away from you.
Dealford's been smokin again
