Default Still cleaning...

Just an update on this little car. I spent most of the weekend cleaning it. Its hard to believe someone let a car get this dirty. This is by far the dirtiest/most neglected car I have ever bought, and I have had many!! Found the fitting/elbow on the back of the cylinder head to be cracked. Ordering replacement tomorrow along with maintence/tune up items. Not sure how bad PO overheated it. But it seems to run fine and not overheat once I burped the cylinder head. Hopefully the head gasket is ok(for now). Should know more once the leak is fixed. So far I have used a jug and 1/2 of fabreeze, the "dog smell" is almost gone.
