89 renix no start
just bought an 89 2 door with a bad engine, well it wont start. the guy says he thinks blown head gasket and i havent picked it up yet so i was gunna check the oil to see if it was milky, im fairly knowledgeable on engines. but being that its a renix idk anything about it, ive heard theyre pains in the a$$ so just wondering if possibly its something else. ill update this once ive checked the oil though. thanks!!

If you post up exactly what it is (engine/trans) and what it's doing I' sure someone will be along.....Terminals need to be shiny lead inside and out. SHINY! (Lol)
