Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

I bought a used vehicle from a private party seller, didn't even get through a tank of gas (less than a week later) and the motor blew up, do I have any recourse?

She claims she didn't know that the car was in bad shape. She has now told me that her dad said it might have been a head gasket.
