Because these block are invincible.

Obviously coolant in the oil fill cap is a bad thing. But what are the chances that the radiator and something in the motor went at exactly the same time? And why would the oil in the pan be clean, but the oil in the head is contaminated? I'm kinda confused. What do the spark plugs look like?

If it turns out you actually need a motor, and I'm not saying that you do, you can get a rebuilt 4G63 at www.karking.com for $1750.

 

[oldman]

yep. so i still got that motor.
ya want it?

Please take this to the classifieds or pm.

I completely agree with the head gasket theory. Not a hard fix if that's it. If you haven't done so, drain the oil and do everything you can to get the coolant out of the cylinders.

Do a compression test, if it's off on one or more cylinders, it's either a cracked block or blown headgasket. If compression is good, then most likely your turbo blew and puked water back into the engine, if that's even possible.

Give it a compression test, that will hopefully give you some direction.

Good luck!

 

[oldman]

any of u guys ever think about head gaskets??????

I second this, use you instead of u though .

TheRealist, ask your dad to perform either a leakdown or coolant pressure test, both would help pin point how coolant is entering the crankcase. If a cracked block was his conclusion based on seeing coolant under the oil cap, take your car to another ex-mechanic.

 

[TheRealist]

my dad not saying its crack but its a possibilty, were gana take it to a mechanic there gana to a compression test i think thats what its called, if its a blown block then we gana get a rebuilt or OR used but 25 to 50k miles on the engine.

 

[TheRealist]

If my turbo blew is it a possibility that it could throw water into my engine?

Grammar mistakes aside, good idea with the compression test. Why didn't I think of that?

 

[TheRealist]

My dad is not saying it's cracked, but it's a possibilty. We are going to take it to a mechanic, there they will do a compression test to see weather a gasket or block is mest up, if the block is mest up then we are going to buy either a rebuilt engine or an engine that already comes with 25k to 45k miles on it.

Does that sound better? funny guy...

 

[Arrow_Runner]

Heh, rocking.

Cross your fingers for a blown head gasket. Good luck as always.

No.

Oil, yes, but not coolant.

im on my knees 24/7

 

[blueman803]

I bet you are

 

[Drift_SM]

well its an automatic

no use rebuilding it.

If i were you, I'd part it out on ebay, or classifieds....go find your self a MANUAL trans DSM, and start over. maybe a 1g GS-T for dirt cheap and go from there. its every DSMs dream/nightmare. ..............

 

[TheRealist]

nah man, im not realy a racer racer per say, but automatic is fine for me, i love my gst and already envested 17 hundred on woofers,amp, alarm, car speakers, 18inch rims, i just want my car running so i can go places and shit

 

[Spyderman7]

It sounds like you have a blown gasket,not motor.I've owned over 200 DSMs and have never had a "cracked" block.Unless you count pistons and rods protruding through the block.Most mechanics would think head gasket with water in the oil.Are you sure dad wants to work on it.

 

[TheRealist]

dad not going to be working on it were going to take it to a mechanic shop pretty soon. my dad said it might be a cracked block but he's not sure, im praying its just a gasket my fingers are crossed

 

[playitlouddsm]

What color was this smoke comming out of the back of your car?

 

[airmail96]

This is what happened, i go about 6 miles to get to the mall with some friends and I'm driving maybe 85 or less, about almost when we got off the freeway we smell something nasty and i thought something was burning, i look at my temperature and it was fine right in the middle, the needle was, so when we get off the freeway when i slowed the car down or stopped it, it wouldn't idle correctly it would start to shake, when i pressed on the gas it would go away but only when i stoped or slowed down it start shaking so i pull over into the mall's lot and park my car. so me and my friend open the hood and there was radiator fluid all over, so the radiator must have blown,

Could it be possible that while he was still driving it, that the engine wasn't getting coolant so it causeed the head to warp allowing oil and coolant into the compression chamber?

 

[TheRealist]

thats a good quistion, my radiator did bust badly when i pulled over it leaking a shyt load

It sounds possible. My Nissan's waterpump took a dump and also a shit load of problems and it caused coolant into the chambers.

Hey are you selling this car as it says in the classifieds or no? If so I e-mailed you about it. Thanks and is the engine blown or not?
