Ok, so I have a 1987 Porsche 944 that i just put koni yellow sports all around w/ 250lb lowering springs and brand new tires.
Well i drove it for about 50 miles before i had a problem. It seems the front was so low that something hit the power steering unit. Well it broke the power steering bracket (expensive) and the pulley on the pump hit the lower coolant hose putting a hole in it and causing a leak. So as i am driving home I see the temp gauge go up but i am really tired and in the middle of nowhere so i stupidly keep on driving. Anyways I now have white smoke coming out the back of the car.....blown head gasket.
Anyways i really don't have the money to properly fix this right now, and i am also in alaska which doesn't help because there is not a shop with the correct tools to do it either.
I was wondering what anyones thoughts were on something called Thermagasket. made by
www.rxauto.com basically is supposed to seal the gasket......yada yada.......I am probably going to get a lot of flack for this but the choice is for the car to sit in the driveway for years on end and become a pile of junk or possibly be fixed on the cheap by this stuff...........
Also, how do you know if your water pump is bad? Is there any test?
Thanks for the help.
