I was in an accident in my Isuzu Rodeo, minor body damage, and a cracked radiator. Thought I sealed the crack, but was wrong. The engine overheated, I felt a pop in the engine and then the engine died. Now the car won't start; the engine just turns over.

• That's what I was afraid of, but is there anything else that I could try that is maybe, you know less expensive?

• You can get a pressure test, although I'm not sure if they do them for cooling systems. Call a shop and see what they can do for a leak test in your cooling system. Might be $50 but its cheaper than replacing the head

• As it turns over you'll know if the head gasket is blown because you'll see white smoke coming out of the exhaust.
