Why does it say “the motor is pretty much worthless”?? British-speak?

She revved that engine to hell and back. Must have redlined it four or five times for prolonged periods. No oil circulated, I’m guessing it’s not an engine I’d consider long term. My guess is there is head gasket and probably temp damage to the cooling system seals.

Oh, I guess she over-reved it maybe? Rev limiter should have prevented damage. Would have been interesting if it had been AWD.
