Lack of oil can do it.

 

My mind ran out of breath reading that huge *** run on sentence.

Punctuation would help.

 

that could have happened due to it being to tight i've heard of that before but that would have not made it run like crap unless he didnt set the timing ryt

shoot...here we go again english 101.........man who gives a crap about his writing skills .,,, wow you chose a name that really fits you...

Yo vtec,, what do you mean by the head stopped ?? why did you put water in radiator ,, did car overheat at all that you know of ??

 

anh discoloration on the cam or journals in the head?

What is the condition of the oil? (you might want to get an SOS analsys completed)

Is the water pump functional?


Did you just buy this car? Sounds like it has had a long hard life.........

 

The cam broke off at the gear. It was running fine both times, but when water goes in either the rad, or when thermostat opens the car shuts off violently. Loud crack noise the first time it happend. Then the cam broke off at the gear the second time

 

i agree punctuation would really help you find the solution to your problem faster with no punctuation people are like what am i reading and then they get lost and try to think about what is going on and they ask themselves if they really want to answer your question at all because they cant even read the **** straight so they dont bother reading the rest of it and they just let you know to use more punctuation because its so friggin hard to read without it
