Hard to see. Does it look / feel like oil?
Do you or your dad have a credit card. Rent tools with credit. Upon return, money goes right back on card. No cash needed.
I don't understand how you had enough money to just up and do a head gasket 2 days ago, but now you don't have money to rent tools to diagnose? It makes no sense. Head gaskets alone are $40, nevermind the intake and exhaust gasket you'll have to replace on the way. Guess how much it costs to rent a compression tester from Advance: $42 and you get 100% of it back. If you have the money for a head gasket, you have the money for the tool. And if you don't have the tools to get at a thermostat, you don't have the tools to get at a head gasket.
Head gaskets are a big job. You're struggling to do the proper diagnostics so I can't imagine how you could possibly do the actual repair.
Sorry, man, I believe anyone can do anything mechanical if they've got the will, but you've found an excuse for every suggestion given i don't buy that you can't find some money or help somewhere. Somebody needs some yardwork done (walk).
The reason i thought i could get a head gasket Wednsday, is because someone was gonna buy some clothes from me i cant fit. But they up and changed their mind. And yeah, im known for having "excuses" as my dad calls them. No he nor me have a credit card, as im not a supporter of credit cards, and my dad...i dont even know, as he doesnt tell me nothing about him, nor will he ever. But look:
My phone has been off for two months,
My car insurance is due Thursday,
No job can get ahold of me if they even wanted to, as my dad is gone all day everyday.
And you dont live in this area. I live in the worst place of my town(considered the ghetto), and its hard to even start a conversation with someone here. My "excuses" are MY problems i have. Im a fairly shy guy in person. And these problems i stated before you, are only part of the problems in my life. I been through hell and back my whole life with my dad, and i hold s*** in. Hes my dad, and if i get mad and make it personal, it wont end pretty. So i hold it all in. I know it sounds fishy man, but seriously listen to me when i say this, everything im saying is true. I literally cant get a job nowhere.
I have no criminal record, nothing. And i've applied at over 10 jobs within 50 miles of my town. Im in hard times, always have been. Im trying so hard to get the hell out of my dads apartment, and get my own cause im considered a "low life" and all this other s*** because i try all the time to get a job and better myself, theres nothing i can do to make this dude happy or satisfied to have him even call me his boy. I asked everyone i know to help. My own brother won't let me work with him making about 10 an hour. I've been breaking apart internally since i turned 18. Im ignorant in many topics, but i been mature since i entered jr high awhile back. I've had my life threatned, chocked out, cursed at, and swung at by my dad. And this goes way back. I was heavily bullied in elementary school. I was gonna do suicide at the age of 11, i was put on pills and consoling, (which didnt last long, as i never talked to the therapist, and the one time i did, i got punished by my dad when we got home because he told my dad everything i said he does) that never worked because i control my own actions, and pills just dont work for me. I almost slit my throat one day in my room cause it was too much, but at the moment that blade touched my neck, i realized the big picture of growing up, and better myself more than my dad and anyone else. At least thats what i thought. Thats only half of my problems man, im sorry for throwing my life at you like this. But its hard man, it really is, and you needed some lighting on me. I've been a slave to my dad since i was able to talk and walk good enough. I was his puppet. I was more of a object to him than his child. But im the most paitent and real ass man you will ever meet. I have very little friends. Im in depression almost every minute of every ******* day. This is me, i feel you deserve alittle background of where im coming from in this and why im so ify, or what you yourself would call " a man with excuses." i have "excuses" for everything because im a very sharp guy. I pay close attention to details in life, i had to help others with their lives for 18 years, and never had i the time to prepare for my own life. To me my life started when i turned 18. But so far i been in the same damn pit since November. Now i dont know you that well, so im not gonna assume, but everyone has problems, whether similar or not, we all take things differently, and i hold my anger, depression, sadness, and confusion inside and im just a ticking bomb for whoever sets me off in the worst way. So there you go, man. You should understand a bit of me and why i am who i am. Im much more of a talker online than in person cause this is what im used to, is typing. Its a gift that im highly educated in words, reading and focus. But sorry if its too much. I could honestly write a book about my life, thats how.much i go into detail with myself, but yet im never interesting towards the right crowd.
