see the thing is i had oil, i know i checked it, unless my dipstick was reading wrong..
the engine was making this awful knocking noise, i was at my parents place, and i asked my dad to listen to it.. busily he said "its fine.. its just cold" i got about half a mile down the road, and she siezed up... we couldnt even tow it in 5th, i plan on doing a full motor swap... possibly going with a small block chevy this time :) who knows, thanks for your offer.. i might just take you up on that :)

so you have had this happen before eh? :) and all i really need to do is rebuild the head? see i was told i need a new engine.. but i never took it to mechanic.. so lol.. yeah..im just now thinking about getting Roxy up and running again :) lookin at options.. almost sold her.. couldnt part with my first car :)
thanks
tara
