You either need some coolant or water wetter to lubricate the pump and stop corrosion.

Wow i didnt know it could get frozen. That sucks!

When I picked up my car from Stace in Tampa we had this exact discussion and I told him to drain the window washer and have a 50% mix of AF for my drive home. Good thing too because it was about -10 the week after I got home.
Hope everything turns out for you! That is BAD stuff. |

Sucks to be you guys, too. If it drops below 45 I start complaining about the cold. It was 75 degrees in LA last weekend. :rofl: |

why do people thing the local temperature has to be hot for the planet's average temperature to be rising? that'd be like seeing an ice cube on your kitchen floor and turning up the heat cuz it's cold inside. |
Update, replaced radiator and all seems good. Glad the motor is ok.

why do people thing the local temperature has to be hot for the planet's average temperature to be rising? Say what you want, Call me what you will, think what you think. There is one great thing about this country I'll continue to exercise every minute of my life. That is the freedom to think how I want and to say what I want. :2cents: OP: You got pretty lucky man! Freezing coolant can damage a LOT of things under the hood... Ask me how I know! :hustler: Glad to hear everything is okay! |

Not so good update:vash:
Its been a few months and I have daily driven the car and its never been "right". I was always chasing a coolant leak, once the t-stat housing, once the heater lines. But motor been running over all well. Until yesterday its been cool around here. Yesterday I was on the way home and car was acting funny. I open the hood when I got home and noticed the coolant tank bubbling??? Was not hot on the gauge. I replaced the rad cap and same issue. Than came the smoke out the tailpipe and it running rough. I pulled plugs and #4 was wet. So I put 1,2,3 back in and started it and moved it 25 feet into driveway stopped motor and lifted car to drain coolant and it was ALREADY UNDER PRESSURE. Pulled the head and I don't see a major HG failure like I would have liked to. Here what it looks like, what do you think.

I'd start looking for cracks in cylinders in the water jacket area. The head could also be cracked. Only way to know may be a magnaflux check.
|
Or a pressure test on the head. Looks like an obvious failure between 1&2 and 3&4, or was that damage from removing the head gasket? Sounds like you were boosting into your coolant, so something was fubared.

It almost sounds like the head could've warped. Its pretty obvious number 4 is getting a great deal of water from the clean valves.
My car did the same thing after freezing and overheating, only it was blowing massive amounts of oil out the muffler. Cylinder head ended up having 4 cracks in it somewhere the shop found but were able to repair it. I have a terrible habit of changing my mind every 2 days about a build and did something really stupid. Instead of getting a 99 head (which I really didn't know a lot about then) I spent 400 to have mine rebuilt and repaired then pulled the motor apart when it was in a pretty legit condition. Good luck, man. Hopefully its an easy fix and doesn't require pulling the motor apart. |
