@pcora blown radiator. Currently the thermostat is being repaired so the mechanic can test the engine block and confirm whether or not the damage is isolated to the radiator and coolant system.

@pcora The engine was blown. We’ve been without a car since last week. Got a new one queued up, but with the holiday weekend, I’m still waiting on my check from the bank to drop off at the dealer. Hopefully it’ll arrive tomorrow, Tuesday at the latest.

@lukemperez or wait, maybe I misread and it’s just a new engine? 😂

@pcora No, new car. The cost of a new engine was prohibitively expensive for a car of that age and mileage (2014, 176k).
