it is really hard to guess without knowing what exaclty went bad - so this is all worthless guessing...
HOWEVER, if your head is warped OR if there is internal damage due to motor seizing - may as well start looking on the internet for a used motor (u can get them cheap if you spend time looking for one)...
let us know what your mechanic saiz... it would help the guessing game. |
Probably just the engine shutting off and the brake booster no longer have pressure is what you felt in the brakes... You are best off to buy a radiator on the internet. From your mechanic or the local dealer a radiator will be 270+... The list price is pretty high, but you can get them at wholesale price on the internet for at least 100$ less.
