Default Can this idiot be fixed
Im in a bit of a rut. I have a 95 Ford Escort 1.9l. and it needed to have the head gasket replaced. I have an idiot older brother who decided to take the car apart with out making sure it was TDC.
is this fixable?

Thank you to anyone who reads this
Amanda

Hi Amanda, all is not lost !!
Something to consider,
Get hold of a good shop manual for your particular vehicle and read and perform the steps EXACTLY as stated, and this should help get you(both) out of the woods !
