Motor probably not blown, ie., all the parts are still connected to the parts they are supposed to be connected to, but if the motor has been well and truly cooked and your description strongly suggests it has, it will probably need quite a lot of work and money before it sings properly again.

A steady coolant loss causes localised overheating that will result in the distortion and even cracking of engine parts. A systematic inspection is needed before deciding whether a stripdown is needed...

What is a towing eye? Where is it located?

Many cars have a "towing eye" located in the boot, that you screw into either the front or back of the car to tow it. It is a long bar with a thread on one end and a circular end on the other. The car with most likely have a small panel in the front and rear bumper bar that you remove, you then insert the threaded end of the towing eye and screw it in until it stops turning. If there is no panel in the bumper bar, then the location will be under the bumper bar somewhere and you will need to look for it. It is designed to avoid damaging the car when you tow it.

How can I tow a 1999 dodge intrepid

It would work best on a tow dolly. I imagine that has an automatic transmission. Its a front wheel drive so you want the drive tires off the ground if you want the least amount of grief. *** Make sure your dolly swivels or you will be sorry.

Does anyone have any useful information on how to remove front bar cover on a 08 Ford Territory.

I haven't done a Territory, but. There are bolts underneath at the fenders where the bumper meets them, you have to remove the grill (just pops off) and get the plugs out behind it. You will also have to remove bolts and plugs from the bottom of the bumper.

Slide under the bumper and look on the back side of it. You will find the bolts that attach it to the body.

1999 cadillac deville front bumper got pushed in 1 inch, how do I pull it back out

The compression shocks are not adjustable.
Trying to pull on it can cause it to explode, and seriously injure anyone near that.
However, there is a solution you may be happy to do.
You should find the place where the compression shocks fasten to the frame ( such as it is) has bolts/screws, and you should be able to loosen those bolts/screws and push the bumper back out to position.
You are trying to push the shock as a unit.
You should have an inch of play, for example a long slot should be where the bolts/screws slide.
Do not use a lot of force. do not hammer on it, nor pull it with a chain.
Be blessed.

How do you attach a towbar to a jeep , does it flush mont or attach under bumper

On those, you will need a pair of "tow tabs" that mount to the front frame. Same setup is commonly used to flat tow race cars. The bar will generally attach to the tabs with two pins with clips that keep them in place. Unless you are making the bar yourself, the tabs are sold with the bar. I have seen "rental" hook-ups that attach to the bumper but those are not very safe compared to a frame mount.

Tow bar (mounts) front end of larado

Use the same bolt holes the front bumber uses. You may have to build a bracket that attaches to the frame horns where the bumper mounts and using longer bolts (grade 8) pinch the bumper between the mount and the frame horns. Attach your tow tongue to this mount.

Romoving front Tow Bar...

Just have to remove the 3 bolts on each side of the bumper. Just move the rubber splash guards out of the way so you can see the bolts up under there. Make sure you use anti-seize compound on the bolts when you reinstall. You will probably have to adjust each side of the bumper bracket so it fits back on your Jeep, cause with the tow bar removed, there is a gap now.
