With a 603 simply writing it off can be very expensive. These are pretty rare cars and even finding a used engine at say $1,500 is a crap shoot. Most of these cars seem to have about 200k-250k on them at this point. So any used engine is going to have time on it and need some work.

She said she turned it off, it will turn over, compression came back at 50, not sure how many cylinders he checked, will not run. Looking back, I think either the head was cracked or head gasket was blown at the least because I put antifreeze and water in it a couple of times before she took the trip. I have a feeling the bottom is probably OK. I will just have to find out! Thanks for the info.
