Vehicle Detail
This vehicle had a slight head gasket leak. When I started the SUV to add K-Seal to seal it up, the compression on the bad cylinder with coolant was too much and caused a rod knock to start. I ran the engine for 30 minutes, and the head gasket seems to have sealed – no more white smoke or coolant smell, but now has a rod knock requiring mechanical attention which I am not technically able to give. You may be able to access and fix this issue by dropping the oil pan if the sound is from a rod bearing. If you are mechanically inclined with engine work, you should get more life from this vehicle. Rear heater not working, but the front heater and all A/C are working fine.I purchased this vehicle in 1999 with 36,000 miles and it now has 277,000. I was hoping to keep driving it, but fixing this issue would cost me more than I am willing to invest, since I cannot do the work myself. All Michelin P265/70R17 tires, the rear (LTX MS2) have great tread remaining (only 12,000 miles on them). New Battery and Starter installed in last 6 months. Car passed NJ State inspection within the last year.
