Hey guys, I'm new here and this is my first thread on the site. Been apart of the BenzWorld forum since March. But started lurking here a few months ago.
So my car wouldn't start a month ago and I got it towed to my father's shop (he's my mechanic) I went to BenzWorld and asked over there if they knew the cause of the issue
What happened: I was revving my car at a few stoplights for a couple of weeks just having fun. After a while I started smelling raw fuel from my car. They ended up telling me that it was probably my EHA, EHA rings, or my fuel return lines. I tell my father and we try this whole time to troubleshoot the issue...
He tells me today of news that my timing chain cracked my Valve cover (told BenzWorld that it was my cylinder head by uncertainty but it's the valve cover). This is my only car. I have no other one. He basically told me I have to get another engine or get another car. I don't know if he can fix it or not.
(I bought my car for $950 and not in the best condition back in March!)
What would you guys advise me to do. I don't want to get rid of my car like my dad advised and I'm firm on that. I'm 23 with a better source of income than before. I am in the market at the moment for a second vehicle (been thinking OBS Yukon with a reliable Small Block Chevy).
