My cousin is out in Scottsdale Arizona and he overheated his S14 yesterday.
I had him perform the visual checks on the oil, coolant and exhaust, it looks like the HeadGasket is ok, no fluid mixing or bubbles in the radiator, etc... It's beyond his limited mechanical skills to perform any extensive checks, but something caused it to overheat so it needs to be checked.
Anyhow, he's also hearing some screeching (says it sounds like bad brakes) when he drives sometimes. I need a decent, honest mechanic to look the car over and check the car for HeadGasket failure, also check the various belts, etc...
Possible work needing to be done would be replace fan belt or power steering belt or fan clutch or radiator, worst case - new head gasket or engine swap.
Any referrals would be appreciated.
Thanks
