Hello,

Thank you for the information and insight. The motor had 59,991 miles on it when it expired. The number 5 cylinder wall let loose and coolant completly filled the left side of the motor and made the car look like an F1 car when the engine blows. It happened at highway speed and in fifith gear with no warning at all, just a big boom and smoke everywhere.

I hope this answers your question about the motor letting go?
