problem #1

Lynx

  • Manual transmission
  • 78,000 miles

Had 4 fires at the alternator connection. THE ENGINE FAILED ON ME. WHEN I TOOK THE ENGINE APART I DISCOVERED THAT ONE HEAD BOLT HAD SNAPPED WHEN THE ENGINE WAS BUILT. SINCE THE HEAD GASKET WAS NOT AS TIGHT AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IT CAUSED PROBLEMS BETWWEEN THE ALUMINUM HEAD AND THE BLOCK.
