I have seen people go to skid pad ( this 30mph track) with full race suits on . Not because Tim asked them to but because they want to be protected when shit goes down . And these people are good drivers that can easily menover out of situations to avoid a crash
not tryin to start shit but...
yes thats what it sounds like its gonna cost you the same to buy another motor asit is to do the headgasket so you might as well rebuild it. or buy another ka just to get it running and rebuild the one in the car.
idk the last motor he had when he blew the head gasket it did that and he only had a pinsize hole in it and it still shot up the fluid a little out the cap.
to op just pull the thermostat out anddrive it and see what happens.
if you can put it in gear when the caris off and turn it on n the car moves then sounds like your clutch. cause mine did that when i put a different clutch and didnt notice that it was pressed against the pressure plate
