Pipe supplying water from radiator to engine got bad and I didn't take notice on-time. So they were limited supply of water.

And I was careless to check my temperature at the dashboard.

I called my mechanic and he said my top gasket got burnt. He said if we get it replaced, it will be alright.

My friend who's in to car dealing business said he can help me sell it and get another car.

What's you take about this? Continue with the car or sell it?

You must have poured water in the radiator before the engine was absolutely cool.

I believe you should change the gasket and sell it.

Don’t even try and buy half engine; just change the whole engine if you want to continue enjoying that car. But engine is very costly (like 500) so you best just replace the gasket and sell it off

I wish someone had told me this about my Camry 2010 3 years ago. Replaced it with half engine and eventually sold it as peanuts

Not all mechanics can successfully change the gasket of a vehicle excellently.

That car will never remain the same again…

The mechanic even "on" the car back and sound was very okay. He said we should still change the gasket as it the normal thing to do. Because the gasket is not like before

I want to agree with this comment, My Honda element gasket got burnt.

Changed the gasket and the SUV never remained the same again.

First, it sounds a bit louder than before...
Now am getting some strange whistling sound from engine

After changing of gasket, how many months did you used it?

All you have to do is too change the gasket since the engine sound is very ok and working perfect.

To the guys that had the experience of the "not so good" engine function even after changing the gasket, it may be that the burnt gasket already affected the engine before even they noticed the problem and change the gasket.

I dont get you....so the solution is to sell the car just because some mechanics cant change top gasket......ordinary top gasket that you wont enter inside engine...okay be like u be the op's friend

Probably...

In my own case bro, there was no overheating...

I only got to know when we wanted to check the oil gauge, then I noticed a milky creamy substance,

My oil had turned milky, even the radiator coolant had turned same milky .

Which suggest water had mixed with the engine oil.

Very painful.

I guess you did not see the smoke coming out of the bonnet.

How hot did it get and for how long?

You may just have to fill it up again with water, purge air out of the system and you are good to go.

I'm not even taking him seriously. Me wey don begin cruise my ride

It is well

Ok

Your car's engine operates in extreme conditions with intense heat.
If this heat becomes more than normal, your engine can overheat causing a blown head gasket.
The extra heat results in the cylinder head and engine block expanding too much which results in a failure in the head gasket.

Going forward, frequently glance at your dashboard signs while driving, especially your engine oil, gear, brake and temp guage..like every 3 minutes or so..That simple act can save you very expensive repairs.

This is super story ..

So after.it got burnt what next bro

Replace engine or replace car..

Don't resurface that block and change gasket.

Always observe ur instrument cluster readings. it updates u about necessary information before hand.

in bmw's or more intelligent cars a malfunction alarm would ring to get ur attention to check ur car information.
