Q: Motor turns over will not start
Car overheated waited to cool off, filled up with water tried starting nothing, checked all plugs cleaned them off. I believe it is intake or head gasket. Just recently replaced water pump and radiator. I have a bad crankshaft seal leak too, Was just nursing it until I could afford a different car. Would I be better off getting a motor or rebuilding this one?
