Don't be skeered....my original set that I painted was fine, I sold them to a guy in Canada for cheap since the one was broke (housings were used for a retrofit anyway) and I bought this pair used from another member. Up until now they have held up just fine.
Now I have an excuse to crack them open, sand 'em down and re-paint satin black.
I ran by the mechanic, and after checking the oil and him peeking in the coolant overflow, i aparently did not see what he saw.
He immediately told me it is a headgasket. My oil is VERY watery. The coolant, while not oily, said it is brown from the oil, not as much the rust
So, i'm gonna leave it with him tomorrow and he is gonna run a leak test to see if it's confirmed. Then, hopefully the warranty company doesn't pitch a fit.
While it's up, i'm gonna have em check the endlinks as well. CLicking and popping sucks

That's going to be big money for a hg replacement and probably water pump too! $500+/- just be aware!

Nope, sucks not. Didn't stick to roadways. All fun & none of the hassle. Today all gone & sunny.

It would suck MUCH worse to ride 13 miles of mud with road bike tires. Count your blessings & jump some stuff, chase stray animals, rut up some flower beds, make it fun.....not that I would do anything like that of course. Beats the **** outta walkin so enjoy..............

As long as his warranty will cover it, it should only cost him $100 and change for the deductible.
I was on a road bike on the cement, and, well, there is NO comparison. I feel like i'm slushing along. My new tire is more knobby than they old one was, after melting it with the exhaust. lol
And, i would root it up, but, 12 of the 13 miles is all on main roadways, so, nothing to root up. It really is a boring ride. i go for about 9 miles totally straight, i make a right, go 3 miles perfectly straight, then, make another right and 2 lefts. The roads dont' curve or anything.
But, yeah, it SHOULD all be covered under warranty. 2 year warranty purchased last year with the car.

I was just mentioning the cost since I saw you mention "they should cover it" and so that they let you know before hand instead of "you're cars finished...oh and it wasn't covered under warrenty and the bill is $500"!?
He will call me if it isn't under warranty. He is cool like that. He calls me with whatever he finds out and before he does anything.
Warranty already covered when the front of my motor cracked for no reason, as well as pay for one out of the 4 hours it took to install rear motor mount
