02 MUSTANG GT ENGINE STOPPED AT HIGH SPEED


02 MUSTANG GT: 2 months ago I installed radiator. Engine down 2 quarts of synthetic oil.

NOW: Down 3 quarts. Water emptied from radiator. Engine stalled going high speed on freeway. Valves rattled, timing missed. Stopped but did not seized up.

Not sure:

Is engine good or bad? (will start up again)

Where did oil go?

Low radiator water separate issue? (no overheat on temp gauge)

ANYBODY KNOW OF A REPUTABLE SHOP IN SOCAL TO FIX NEWER MUSTANGS? THANKS!

yeah. i think you guys are right. it's the fn head gasket again!!! went out 20 thousand miles ago and a year. had it fixed at galpin ford in van nuys. the worst fucking, most incompetent, ford repair shops in the country. SO LOW AND SO STUPID, it' BUSTED AGAIN! That's why i took them to the California Auto Repair Bureau and got the bill knocked down 14 hundred bucks.

BUT THEY SUCK AND THEY SUCKED THE LIFE OUT OF THE ENGINE SO NOW I HAVE TO FIX IT. ANY SUGGESTIONS BOYS HOW I CAN PATCH IT UP AND SELL IT?

It does have white smoke. Does run fine with full water and oil.

What can I get with 101 thousand miles and good body?
