My car is constantly overheating I’m hearing bubbling noises and ringing noises and it cuts off. Now it won’t start at all.

Hi,

How badly has it overheated? If it was hot enough, you may have taken out a head gasket or warped a cylinder head.

I need you to check a couple things for me. Take a look through this link. It explains how to check for a bad head gasket. Do this and let me know the results.

Let me know. Also, let me know if the engine sounds differently when you try to start it. If possible, record it and upload it for me to hear.

Take care,
Joe
