Icon6 1997 ex with poor man type r

ok so i was driving my car trying to look for a job. as i was driving i saw down to my temp gauge and it was almost at red so i kill it and i just cruise to a parking lot i staid there till the engine cool down and figure out i pop one of my water line out from the back side. i spent an hour to get that s.o.b line back on and tight. i went and got some water and fill the radiator but as soon as i was starting the car i heard a horrible noise. it idle for like two seconds and then like a crushing noise so i kill it and went home and got my truck and trailer and loaded my car up i brought it home and pull the head out(i tought i might have drop a valve but nothing the cylinder walls are in good condition) anyone got an idea of what it might be please help

Very interesting....I would be able to guess on the temp problem but the noise I have never heard of unless your engine just went TU.

It sounds like your just going to have to get down and dirty, check all fluids and their pressure, twice over the block (look it over, and do it again), and try to pinpoint whats up. I wish I could help but I can't say that I haven't run into this issue before...then again if your block is cracked it just gives you an excuse to upgrade some things. Bump.
