I don’t have any paperwork but supposedly a complete rebuild by John Hajduk of Motorkraft Noblesville, Indiana. My buddy Wade says  near impossible for a head gasket to leak as it has a SS lip that prevents water from leaking into the cylinders.

Car was driving fine when I but it on stands to sort the clutch took so long because of the band. All new fluids, filled with coolant , tried to start 5 minutes later and car would not even turn over, took out rear bank plugs and number 5 plug had coolant coming out. Turned engine a bit at crank and coolant was leaking from number 4 front bank header also.

Wade thinks it’s a corroded  intake manifold but engine looks brand new.

Here is the whole story.

I just finished all my work on my restored gt4 and went to start it up and the engine seized. It was nothing I did, the cylinders filled with coolant.. Very bummed only 400 miles on new engine. I don’t have the time or space for this.....

I am good friends with Wade formerly at FOA now at Merlin auto group. I am seriously thinking about sending the car to him.... I  spent my entire inheritance on this car and can’t afford to write it off.......This was my dream car..... just spent 8 months on clutch and cooling system...

Very sad
