Well my brothers 2001 mazda 626 had an antifreeze leak. So we spend all day yesterday changing the two hoses that go from the heater core to the engin.. Pain in the butt.. Reason.. Theres no room to do anything under that hood.. So we finally got it going.. started it up and after 10 minutes we see a little hose thats like 6 inches long that had a gash in it.. Long story short.. we changed the wrong hoses.. SOOO.. today we take the pieces off (throttle body and stuff) to be able to get to this little hose.. So we get it off and go to autozone to buy the hose..
While i was working on his care previously i saw that his rear valve cover gasket was leaking. So when we were in autozone he picked some "so called" gasket sealer treatment that you put into the engin and it seals it up. So we get the pipe on and the cars running great no leaks.. Then we put in the treatment into the engin and start it up.. The car is shaking and running funny. So im thinking this stuff might have to just get into the engin and so on..
Ok as were waiting with the enign running hes reading the bottle and it says "empty out all radiator coolant then add the stuff into the RADIATOR and refill the RADIATOR and restart.. SO we quickly shut off the engin.. I take off the oil filter and drop the oil.. The filter is clogged badly.. so he goes back to autozone and picks up some mobil one good oil and we put the new oil in and the new filter on.. Start it up and its shaking and running bad.. he backs it out the driveway and puts it in drive and the engin siezes.
I feel bad he has a baby on the way, his fiance lives in ocala and he just lost his job and now has no car. DAMIT. 😥 Its just parked in front of my hosue. The website for the stuff we bought called "bar's Leaks" says if you put it in the engin and didnt run it.. just put some engin flush in and change the oil.. But if you started it you need to take it to a mechanic and have the engin taken out and fully cleaned out. MONEY. MONEY. MONEY. i feel bad.
ouch! that sucks.
I think they make cars now so you can not work on them.
I understand fully bad luck!

I dont even try to do anything other than top off fluids.
My first car you could sit in the engine compartment
