Blown Head Gasket!

FALSE ALARM!! UPDATE POST #14
Yup. Sho did bitches. I guess with the upwards of 8-10 times my car saw 240*+ with all this cooling system BS, she couldn't take anymore. TWICE in my 90 min drive today, when I floored it, coolant comes spewing out the side of the hood like crazy, but temps never rose. So now that I have a fixed cooling system, I have a much bigger issue. Taking the "dressy" stuff out of my engine bay today, and taking it to Morgan Performance Fabrication. Hopefully I'll have her back next week. Also gonna get a new set of head bolts and valve seals while I'm getting this taken care of. Thinking I may as well get a new water pump to. Screw it, it's only money right????

Yup, better safe than sorry. Blown head gasket? Hmm, ask them what they think may have been the cause.

[budoboy]

Wow, sorry to hear that. What a pain in the ass.

[mikes'ss]

ahhh chase sorry to hear that bro ,good liuck on the fix and hopefully it wont set you back too much

[c love]

Dang Chase, one thing after another. Easy fix though.

[frmula505]

I'm with HIMISPHERE that might have been the problem to begin with. starting with a small gasket leak.

[NYCSRTATE]

Not a big deal buddy but godamn when it rains it pours, change the water pump too ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!

[paxton]

That sucks major ass, but once you've got it fixed, you'll be able to put it behind you and enjoy your beast once again. I'm still stumped on whether you had a small head gasket leak or it happened from the car getting hot multiple times. I would suspect the car getting hot soo many times was the issue with the head gasket though.

That sucks. I think I mentioned in you other thread that it could be a Head Gasket.

Damn!!! what a day for mmfers ....i too blew a head gasket today and you guys will be happy to know that it wasnt the jeep...it was the the wifes little civic hatch. i knew it was gonna happen cause i've been topping the coolant off every week for the past year. so much for tryin stop leak now,LOL!!!!

[mikes'ss]

[Vinnysrt8]

wow that sucks.

brutal Chase, sorry bro, get her fixed and back on the road quick, the streets won't be the same without your black beauty :D

FALSE ALARM!!!! All it was, was I overfilled my coolant resevoir the other night when I burped it. AFTER MUCH DIAGNOSIS, Q&A, and troubleshooting with Kyle (Dookie), he helped me realize that I jumped to conclusions. When I pegged the throttle (twice before), it was spewing out the blowhole on my resevoir tank. Simply because there was too much in there. I had no water in my exhaust, the car was running GREAT, and no water or coolant in my oil either. So I drained about 14-16oz of water from the resevoir and hit the road again. This time I stomped on it 5 separate times, throughout the test drive. AND NOTHING. NO SYMPTOMS AT ALL. Lol, what's funny, is after all that aggressive driving that last test drive (hard acceleration, moderate braking, repeat), my temps never got above 194*. So I guess my cooling system is up to par now, lmao. I'm going to check my coolant level later tonight, to make sure it's where it should be. (If I have a blown head gasket, in fact. Then the coolant level will have gone down significantly) But I checked my oil tonight after my last drive, and again, all is good. I'm actually going to get an oil change next week, so that will REALLY be the sign. Thanks for the concern everyone, sorry to get ahead of myself there........it was very easy to assume, considering my recent issues.

[mikes'ss]

i was gonna ask about the oil and water thing ,,well killer deal dude

[SRT8bby]

Thats good news!

[HEMISFEAR]

Man, that is good news Chase cause it would of been a pita. Not great news for Derek though...stop leak lol..yeah, may be a little late D. On the bright side, maybe you're wife will jump into something more fun to drive?

[Derek]

good for you dude newer shit can be a little tempermental,but the wife drove hers hot til the upper hose busted and then drove another 5 miles to her sisters house.....so i ran home and snagged the upper hose off the coupe and put over a gallon of coolant in,drove it back home and was overheating and white smoke within3 miles...its fucked!
