Possible blown head gasket or worse

Hahaha yea I'm kinda suspecting there could be an issue with the bottom end.

I hear ya on the abuse of the car part haha even not knowing anything about mechanic work, an engine acting like this sounds by no means correct, not normal at all. I would have parked that thing at the leaky water pump, until it was repaired.

Anyways he is my friend and I have agreed to help him. He's just completely oblivious when it comes to cars, probably not the best thing to do (buy an old car).

I'm not too sure how long it was driven with a blown head gasket.
Alright well... I'll pull it off see what's up! Thanks fabo
