What actually happened to the engine?

i know, and i'm regretting it now

the water went missing then the head warped and then it ended up in bits, spread between people

i needed to get it off the road anyway, as i couldnt afford to insure/run it daily, and breaking it, meant i was allowed to borrow money for a replacement (or 3)

but yeah, i should have just fixed it
