my little nova is having a few problems...
about a month ago she started overheating, so instantly i assumed head gasket, as the water was smelling of petrol. last week i also went to pull away (a little quickly i admit) from an uphill junction and it wasnt having any of it, and it was like i was running on kangaroo juice! and it was gettin worse and worse the more i drove it. eventually friday i gave the money needed for the parts and started stripping her down, however the old head gasket was fine :S ive recently changed all the spark plugs as it had the wrong ones in (although running fine) and within 200 miles they have gone fluorescent orange, showing bore overheating. also my valves were the same orange too. any suggestions on either of these?
thanks, thoughts appreciated, cause i want my car back :(
