Engine Performance problem
1996 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I RECENTLY HAD A HEAD TO BLOW IN MY CAR AND I GOT A NEW MOTOR FOR 900 CASH AND IT HAD A 60 DAY WARRANTY ON IT. SO MY CAR BREAKS DOWN 9 DAYS LATER AFTER PAYING FOR IT TO BE FIXED. IT JERKED AND SLOWED DOWN A FEW TIMES, THEN IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT MOVE ALL BEFORE IT RAN HOT AND STOPPED. I SAW WHITE SMOKE EVERYWHERE FROM THE HOOD AND AS I OPENED IT OIL WAS EVERYWHERE AND OIL WAS BUBBLING OUT THE SCREWS OF THE HEAD GASKET...SO AS I TRY TO CRANK IT THERE IS THIS LOUD NOISE...BUT IT WILL NOT CRANK...WAS I TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AS A WOMEN AND PAID 900 FOR NOTHING??? OR IS IT POSSIBLE SOMETHING ELSE WRONG?

You have a 90 days warranty
sounds as a used parts and not new
if engine not cranking and it did overheat suspect internal engine failure and would try and used that 90 days warranty
have to have it checked and physically looked at
