HEAD GASKET

I was having my last few puff of cigarette when something caught the attention of my eye...

My water temperature needle was rising slowly... I flicked my cigarette out immediately and turned the ignition off.

"Oh fuck!!!" I really did not know what to do. I was stuck behind traffic along Lorong Chuan and was supposed to rush for class. All I know is that I had to go to the nearest rescue point, Toa Payoh.

I called Lester to find out where he was and luckily for me, he was also on the way home from work. He told me to meet him at his void deck and wait for him to arrive. Shortly after, his gleaming strawberry s2000 pulled up beside me at the loading bay.

After letting the engine to cool down, we opened the radiator cap and poured in FOUR litres of water!!! I was rather devastated by the fact that my car's 10 yr syndromes are starting to appear more frequently.

The very next morning, I drove my car to JMotowerkz and was told that my head gasket was overheating. The radiator was just fine.

Anyway, to cut this post short, my head will be skimmed, port and polished last but not least, a gasket replacement.

mFactory oil cooler along with mugen thermostat and fan switch. Oh boy, oh boy... There goes all my money...
