blown headgasket? pics inside
new motor from nippon motors jdm d15b sohc vtec, motor was purchased with a blown headgasket in my opinion and is going back.
original thermostat from thermostat housing (since been replaced)
water in my radiator shooting out my exhaust (no point in buying coolant unless i want white smoke instead)
and what sounds like water falling on the last part of my headers (downpipe)

Re: (96electronH)
my guess is someone took it out because it was overheating. and its metal not rubber, im sure of this... no its not worth replacing the gasket, its worth replacing the motor because im not sure how damaged everything is and im not risking it. but it seems to my that the head gasket is blown/damaged, correct?
