    um how much water is there in the cooling system? you need to have it full. yours has probably got some major damage if you have been running it into the red zone. if i understand your post then a bhg would probably be the least of your worries

    engine locked up.

    ok i read it again. you really should try a compresion check first. then try again with a few drops of regular motor oil and if that raises compresion it indicates bad rings. thats if the engine turns by hand with no plugs in
